Interesting Q and A about "direct drive" of Maraschino and MEGAschino amps, but there are few posts about Golden Cherry vs MEGAschino, covered for the first time here:

I hear all this stuff about how Zu speakers JUST ROCK!! with a few triode etc. watts. I don't know...Every time I've heard a Zu hooked up to a megawatt Cherry the performance jumped significantly.

That’s quite understandable, but it’s also applicable to pretty much any loudspeaker out there. A great amp not only communicates more (meaning all) information to the speaker... it also regulates the speakers motion in a very controlled fashion, no matter how challenging the load.

totally disagree - with all due respect - and i love my maraschino stereo amp - In my experience - the speakers communicate - the speakers make the amp sound great

its been never the amp - its always the speakers!

I'm having difficulty following your logic. How do speakers make an amp sound great? Do speakers make preamps sound great, too? What about DACs, transports, interconnects, power cords, and power conditioners?

Gotcha. No argument there. That's like saying, "I've tried many tires, brakes, mufflers, and air filters, but changing the engine in my car had the greatest impact."

I come home from many of our audio club meetings and like my system better than what I'd just listened to. Especially since I've gotten the DAC DAC, Cherry USB, and Megaschino upgrade. Now I need bigger speakers.
