| Autoformer vs Speaker impedance Curve Thanks for the link. Doesn’t look like a good match. There is a Classé Omega for sale for that is tempting, but I just can’t bring myself to part with that kind of coin for a 15 year old amp. Too close to a recap. Not sure I could find a local ... | |
| Autoformer vs Speaker impedance Curve Any thoughts on Pass Labs XA-160.8 with 802D3s? | |
| Autoformer vs Speaker impedance Curve Thanks caphill!I’m definitely a Classé fanboy. I absolutely love the sound of my 2300 and can only imagine how good your CA-M600s sound. I haven’t ruled them out, but the fan noise has been an issue for me. I’m in an extremely quiet and smallish ... | |
| Autoformer vs Speaker impedance Curve Find a used Classé Omega power amplifierNice! Don’t see any on the market and they are 20 years old. Recap time. I’m terrible with a soldering iron, and sourcing all the caps… | |
| Autoformer vs Speaker impedance Curve Thanks for the suggestions George. I probably shouldn’t have take this thread off topic by asking for suggestions. My bad. There are plenty of threads on that topic. But...I’m currently running a CA-2300 with my 802D3s (both bought used) and am ... | |
| Autoformer vs Speaker impedance Curve your better off using an amp that is right for the job ...such as? | |
| Autoformer vs Speaker impedance Curve an Autoformer would work, because it’s one of the only speakers that presents a very benign 3-4 ohm impedance load.This statement ignores the fact that loop feedback compensates for this sort of thing.Loop feedback compensates for the autoformerHo... | |
| Autoformer vs Speaker impedance Curve Thanks Al. Very informative! Will take a look at the Wikipedia reference | |
| Autoformer vs Speaker impedance Curve Atmasphere, regarding your link:1. In general do reactive speakers match better with voltage paradigm amps?2. What happens to linearity with a voltage paradigm amp? Does the sp increase where the ohms dip (ie watts increase)—with an increase in d... | |
| Autoformer vs Speaker impedance Curve Thanks George. I’ve actually read that. My confusion stems from the fact that some posts imply that autoformers help with a difficult load. This would seem to imply they would be a good match for the 802D3s. If, in fact, autoformers function ... | |
| Autoformer vs Speaker impedance Curve Thanks all!Some questions to clarify all of your thoughts and input are “gelling”. I need to digest this further. Very interesting read atmasphere. I had briefly read it once before, but it was much more clear the second time through. More to foll... | |
| Autoformer vs Speaker impedance Curve Thanks all!I’ve looked at Mac’s Autoformer benefit explanations. My takeaway: better matching of amp to speaker impedance. Ie, 4 ohm terminals for 4 ohm speakers, 8 ohm terminals for 8 ohm speakers, etc. The catch is these are “nominal” loads. Wha... | |
| MAC Autoformers? Thanks George! Interesting read. I clicked on a link within the post that attempts to tout the benefits of an Autoformer; essentially better matching to speakers with different impedance values. Ie 4 ohm taps to 4 ohm speakers, etc. All well and g... | |
| How do autotransformers affect sound? Interesting. Often paired with Maggie’s as well as the 802D3s in a well known big store. Still curious about the impedance curve vs Autoformer science. Any tech guys care to chime in??? |
