| What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers? Hi @mijostyn , My SET amp plays down to 7Hz -3dB. And plays bass much more in real, natural way compared to any other amplifier I had before. Experience DIYer can built SET amplifier that sounds better than most of amplifiers available on the ma... | |
| What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers? Hi @bache , The question: what is high sensitivity? Yes I agree. For real high sensitivity let say 98dB and up it is an issue. For a 15" driver with 94dB sensitivity bass can be good down to 35-40Hz. Regards, Alex. | |
| What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers? Hi @bache , Yes, sensitive speakers do not play bass below 30-40Hz. But this is a compromise with the texture in the middle bass and lower mids, which is absent in dull speakers with low sensitivity. Regards, Alex. | |
| What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers? The critical distance for medium size room at 1KHz less then 2m. Actually 2m is the worst case. So, the pik volume can generate the system with 300B amplifier is - spikers sensitivity + 9db (8w) - 3db (2m critical distance) + 3db (two speakers)... | |
| What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers? You can get "absolutely sound" with SET. For example, 300B SET and ~95dB sensitivity 15" JBL or Tannoy in medium size room. If 300B SET build properly you can get enough dynamic headroom for any kind of music. From small jazz to symphonic music a... | |

Most low power DSET (45, 2a3, 300b,...) made today and before designed for very easy load and very hight sensitivity speakers file full range Lowther, Fostex, Voxativ,... But in therm of pik volu... | |
| MoFi controversy Hi @sns, I completely agree with you. In terms of sound quality vinyl before ~1965 is really special. I don't say it is better than any digital records but nothing gives me similar enjoyment of sound and music. For example, most records produce... | |
| MoFi controversy If digital is used in vinyl remastering-production proses. Why do we need this vinyl at all? Why don’t stream these files or play this music on SACD/CD player? Why anyone has to spend $150 for this kind of vinyl, and thousands of $$$ for carriage... | |
| MoFi controversy I have several hundred old records from the 50s to the 80s. I also have over a hundred new reissues. To my ears, most of the new reissues, including the most famous audiophile brands, sound like digital. I am sure that not only MOFI uses digital... | |

| Chord DAVE DAC remember that a equivalent software package can do the same and more for $150 (FPPB-RT). You don’t need a $5000 box from Chord to do it (M-scaler). As ASIC designer I can say it is not true. In term of calculations power of performance Softwar... | |
