| Which amp matches best my JM Lab Mezzo Utopia ? Thank you All!Gregm, thank you - I have decided to go for a tube amplifier but will follow your advice to look for a 45-50 watt amplifier (may not be a pure class A amplifier though)! | |
| Are passive preamps better? Hi All,I am FOR the passives and not against.There is a simple principle here - the less is more.An additional circuit is not a benefit to the whole.The thing is that the output of many of the sources is notdesigned to drive the power amplifier di... | |
| Review: Pass Labs Aleph 3 Amplifier Someone here said that the Alephs are good value for the money.In my view they are the best value for the money in the solid state single ended amplifier domain (not balanced).Especially if the source you are using is of good quality single ended ... | |
| Should I get the Art Audio Jota From what I know from some reviewers about SETs and I have read a lot the Mini Utopias will be successfully driven by the 24 watt Jota (high current version).Some SETs have even been reviewed driving the Mezzo Utopia which is a heavier load.24 wat... | |
| Kharma 3.2 Owners, your thoughts... Hello,This is a small room which needs special acoustical treatment.I think that you need a good stand for the source components (especially in this room).Also, you don't quite mention what source you are using most of the time.The Rega CD player ... | |
| Which amp matches best my JM Lab Mezzo Utopia ? Sensitivity of the Mezzo is stated to be 92.5 dB. It is measured up to 2.8v. In 4 ohms this is not watt/meter. 2.8 v makes it watt/meter in 8 ohms. The sensitivity of the Mezzo up to watt/meter is somewhere 3dB less - 89.5 dB as the reviewers have... | |
| Which amp matches best my JM Lab Mezzo Utopia ? If using a balanced amp on the unbalanced input : do both halves of the amp operate or not? If only one half of the balanced circuit and no intention to use a balanced source then buying a balanced amp is a loss of money. Anybody? | |
| Which amp matches best my JM Lab Mezzo Utopia ? I read somewhere that it's not recommended to use SET amps with speakers that have impedance below 8 ohms. | |
| Which amp matches best my JM Lab Mezzo Utopia ? I have thought it is parallel single ended very much like the Aleph. | |
| Which amp matches best my JM Lab Mezzo Utopia ? The 211s are really an option for me. My concern is that they have only 22w of power. Wouldn't it be better to go for solid state Pass Labs XA 160 - class A 160 watts more so as I use a passive pre? | |
| The most emotional amp out there? There are obviously many suggestions. My understanding is that SET is best if the speakers are an easy load. SET amps are now available up to 50 watts from DeHavilland - GM 70. Then, if difficult load, considerations change. Talking solid state , ... | |
| NAIM 72/180, Nait5i vs KRELL 300iL Hi Ivo, why go for an integrated amp if you can have the separates? It is a more flexible solution, no? I wouldn't base my preference for an amp just because it is new/newer. | |
| Audio Research Reference tube phono preamp Guys,Do you need a line stage with the ARC ref or the phonopre drives directly the power amp ?Thanks | |
| Pass Aleph3 vs. X150.5, AtmaSphere MA1 Not exactly but have something to say and ask.I own a Pass Aleph 3.0 .It drives the 4 ohm load of JM Lab Mezzo Utopia speakers.The amp sounds fine but there is a feeling of a bit limited output current.Due to this reasom I am coinsidering a potent... | |
| Pass Aleph3 vs. X150.5, AtmaSphere MA1 I own a Pass Aleph 3.0 .It drives the 4 ohm load of JM Lab Mezzo Utopia speakers.The amp sounds a bit limited in output current.Due to this reasom I am coinsidering a potential upgrade to the Aleph 1.2 monoblocks .Or shall I upgrade the speakers t... |
