Speakers still add orders of magnitude more distortion than your amps, much like they did in the 1960s, unless you're using something insane like a servo-controlled Meyer X-10 (with an integrated amp, natch).
- gmarx 12y agoAlso, more important than amp transparency (which is pretty easy these days) is how the amplifier reacts to the difficult loads many high end speakers present
- alricb 12y agoFor decent, modern amps, not really, as long as you're not getting something like the interaction between the output filter of a class D amp and the loudspeaker (as happened with some Crown class D amplifiers and some EAW speakers)
- mark-r 12y agoThe distortions added by speakers and amps are orthogonal, they don't always mask each other.
