I considered posting a reply to that thread but I figured he'd opt for the "certifications and degrees mean nothing" argument, or he'd go on spouting off his incorrect views on things claiming he's the only one who knows right from wrong, so I ended up not bothering.
The terms he meant regarding amplifiers were transparancy and coloration. I could link to numerous sites and pages such as R Clark's challenge, my own papers, geolemon's writings, and plenty of sites like BCAE, but in the end what good would it do? Sure amps have different levels of quality and we've had this discussion before, but kept within operating specs, at exactly the same power outputs, you won't hear a difference.
If he has his own shop, sells JL, and still doesn't know how to build a proper box for his subs, that explains a lot right there. Apparently he's just one more of these idiots who run shops with a bad reputation doing crappy installs and overcharging customers for the work. This is one reason I usually hesitate to suggest someone have work done at a shop unless they know for sure the shop does quality work..
All professionals aren't created equally.
On the other hand he could be blowing smoke, and may be some 19 year old punk who's never worked a day in his life, which would be indicative of his behavior and attitude.
