[QUOTE="aftec, post: 160853, member: 2251"] I made some pretty extensive tests with a Marshall 9100 dual monoblock, Matrix GT1000 and the Syn5050. The Marshall was the least appealing, with a harsh high mind emphasis. The Matrix has a lot more compressed and flat feel to it, compared to either of the tube poweramps, it can sound cool for high gain, but lacks dynamics and feel in crunch and clean. The Syn5050 was the best sounding out of the 3 although the sound radically differs if the chassis volume is set high or the poweramp level set higher. The higher you set the chassis volume output the brighter and more dynamic it gets, with around noon on the chassis volume the sound is less harsh but loosing a bit of dynamics. [/QUOTE]
