noob query - muscular amps vs simpler designs

[ISO]

@Nikhil: I fully agree about your statement regarding feedback look delay.

This is main cause why amplifier sounding rough even though THD+N are very low.

I suspect Marantz 'current feedback' is a solution for this.

aren't following two quotes contradictory?

No. I was trying to say the same thing in both.
I was trying to explain Group Delay.

This debate is like solid state Vs tube! Simplicity Vs complexity is in the eyes of the beholder. Spicy or bland food, to each his own.

I think it's worth getting some idea about design philosophies... The pass of world's maybe cases where muscle and design are aligned... The problem is in the range of 800-1500 range... Here one is tied between beef Ann's lean... Reviews all the more favorable towards lean.

Learning from this post about design and system matching primarily. Such extremes of design principles is what is perplexing for layman
