Amps really do matter

I have a pair of Tekton Double Impacts and was powering them with a Denon x4200h AVR

I ended up getting a Denon x3800h and VTV NC500MP monoblocks

I had a friend blindfolded A/B test tracks with preamp mode vs avr amp powering the tektons

It really was a massive difference. Even my girlfriend noticed it and she’s not audiphile.

Music was waaaayyy more detailed, airy, spacious and dynamic. Best money I’ve ever spent !
