I was experimenting with various legacy amplifiers on with my newly acquired B&W 802 D3, 802D3 measurement spec is https://www.stereophile.com/content/bowers-wilkins-802-d3-diamond-loudspeaker-measurements.
I observed significant different in sound EQ (high / low tonal balance) between Levinson 333 vs Krell KSA200s.
The Krell sounds darker, the high frequency seems roll off compare to levinsion 333.
Their spec are comparable in term of frequency response 20Hz–20kHz ±0.05dB and both are doubling down in power at 8/4/2 ohm.
Which of the Amplifier measurement can explain why Krell sounds darker than levinson 333 , (output impedance? slew rate? damping factor)
