Sorry

If I come across a bit snarky but I just finished covering the California Audio Show where I often use Guns and Roses' Knockin on Heaven's Door and Big Band Jazz at very high levels and Audio Note's room with their speakers that have lower rated Sensitivity and amps with lower watt ratings had more bass and volume than higher sensitive horns and amps double or quadruple the power output ratings in the same sized rooms. The AN played louder with deeper bass and no audible distortion. I was at a 95dB baseline hitting over 100dB peaks without a hint of any audible distortion. I felt bad that the show runners all left the room to protect their hearing but for the money - you better be able to play rock music and big band and whatever else at loud levels.

But even with this youtube as poor as youtube sounds you can still hear the OTO (4 undistorted watts) driving the AN J(not in corners) so around 90dB sensitive) and the OTO is probably the "darkest" sounding of all AN amplifiers aside from the IZero.
