I didn't know the Aleph 3 had a very high damping factor. What is it?

You don't need a high damping factor to control TAD woofers. My amp has a very low damping factor and works great with the dual TAD 15" woofers (1602s) in my system. Now they are in series for a 16 ohm load, so nearly anything can drive them. And they are very satisfying as they go to 20Hz in my system :) If you wire them in parallel, **any** solid state amp that can make a few watts and many tube amps will drive them just fine. Now if you over damp them by using an amplifier with a very high damping factor, you'll actually get less bass and no definition. There aren't any speakers out there that really need more than about 20:1 damping factor. IOW, the damping factor thing is a bit over-rated. What you really need is the amp's ability to make power, and with the efficiency of the TADs, that really isn't all that hard. |
