Key characteristics of amplifiers

According to my friend Alan, good quality hi-fi gear should have outstanding characteristic of sound and emotion.

• Leak TL12.1 has sweet, open, wide, clear and transparent tone but slightly thin in body.
• Quad II have warm, mellow and rich body of mid.
• McIntosh MC-240 has outstanding authority tone, big sound stage, rich of bass and thick body.
• Radio Craftsman 500 has fine details, clear and sweet tone, but slightly narrow in sound stage if compared to Leak TL12.1.
• Western Electric KS-16608 has outstanding mid range, natural, emotional, warm and smooth tone but slightly lack of extension at both ends
• Western Electric 124 - the selling point of WE124 is also not the details and extension of both end, but nature, pure and emotional tone in mid and mid-high range
