One Amp To ‘Rule’ Them All....

Is there one amplifier that everyone can agree on as a contemporary standard? An amplifier that can be considered a standard in both the studio and in a home stereo setup?

What one amplifier does everything very well and can be found in homes and in professional audio engineering environments?

What amp covers all the bases and gives you a glimpse into all qualities of fine musical reproduction?

...something Yamaha? ...something McIntosh?

I trust this isn’t a Total Harmonic Distortion squabble. Because THD was shown to be a red herring dons ago.

Whether the application be for live, in the studio, or in the home listening, we, the audio community, would never agree on a single one anyway. As listeners, we are all different, and we all want what we like. And what each of us likes, is not universal.

"The notion of a one size fits all in any respect is more fantasy than honesty."    EXACTLY and why the OP would equally as well served, if searching Mordor, for that beloved, "One Ring to rule them all".
