Best Amp for Timbre, Depth and Spatial Resolution?

Paul & everyone else, please go on exploring the topic of room correction / timbre.

From what I have found, digital correction is simply amazing at healing a smeared image. In my case it is extreme as I have a digital processor in my car. It is the JBL-MS8. Anyhow, I have my left tweeter and mid approximately 1-2 feet away and the right tweeter/mid is 4 feet away. Hooible conditions for imaging and impossible without digital correction. After running acoustic calibration which takes in information through a binaural microphone (L&R ears), I have a locked in center image. The sound appears to come from right in front of me and the speakers "disappear" as people like to say.

However, all this processing does something to the sound rendering it slightly mechanical. It sounds great but it will never fool me into thinking that an actual saxophone is playing.

You have to read better; " 6 months ago I listend to the latest 800D. The image was almost flat at the show." We are taking about the presentation at the sho were I was. This was the truth. People at the show found it not a good demo. In other situations it can be different. I even invited the people of B&W to listen to my demo. I was talking with them about depth and 3D. I am Always open and ready to discuss.

This is a audio forum. Can we continue on the things were it should be about.

So here's a question in line with the OPs.

How does one determine teh pecking order for amps alone in regards to timbre, depth and spatial resolution? There is nothing I know of that canbe measured on an amp that would clearly determine this. The speakers, speaker setup and room acoustics are the most important thing it seems to me. SO if one does the speaker thing right, and has the right amp to drive the speakers to their maximum potential, is there anything else that needs to be addressed explicitly?

Just wondering. I'm not so sure there is much more to it than getting the speakers set up well for max performance and using good quality stuff in general upstream to feed it.

I'm hoping it might just be that simple?

I thought the general consensus was that so many show setups were haphazard affairs in bad rooms often using gear that wasn't even broken in, to the extent that it was often impossible to attribute the resultant poor sound to any one piece of the system?

If so, then why would any knowledgeable installer use what he heard at a show as proof positive that a given piece was lacking in some way?
