*Additionally, why are the MCX amps listed as the highest in 'Power', but way down the list in 'Bass Extension'??
So why are the most powerful amps one of the weaker ones in bass performance??
Power and Bass extension are two different concepts. Power is just simply the Watts it can deliver. But be careful of misleading claims of power.
Bass is extension the sound characteristic, meaning how low in frequency. In reality, our ear can't hear below 20hz.
Another thing to take note is that some sound characteristics are easier for our ear to notice than others.
Can our ear tell the difference between 20hz and 25hz ? Most people can't
Furthermore, how much music content are there below 30hz.
