| Amplifier current vrs watts; why is current more important? rbstehno,I guess no analogy is perfect! It's up to one's choosing. | |
| Amplifier current vrs watts; why is current more important? Similarly, extra current (if it were somehow to exist) does not affect bandwidth. What **does** affect bandwidth is output transformers; generally speaking the bigger you make them the less bandwidth you get. This seems to be limited to tube am... | |
| Should an amp have a "personality"? No No. I'm not copping an attitude. That's not my way of telling you to get lost. I'm just trying to give you my honest 2 cents on it is all. I am not sure who should get lost not having any decent to say. | |
| Should an amp have a "personality"? ivan_nosnibor,do you have a problem? you posted as if someone just punched you in the face. | |
| Should an amp have a "personality"? As to your response to jetter's comment, have you considered trying higher efficiency speakers? I think ultimately every speakers have their compromises. I currently use the Thiel CS2.4 which I like a lot being time-phase coherent. | |
| Should an amp have a "personality"? jetter,For example, if I need a tube amp that has the same drive as the W7, I would probably have to spend a lot of money. Of course I could get a 40W tube amp but that won't be enough for most applications. | |
| Should an amp have a "personality"? Our hearing is too complicated and the English language is not adequate to characterize our hearing perceives sound and music. If we can't agree on the meaning of the word "neutrality" then it's hard to move to the next phase. If "neutrality" do... | |
| Amplifier current vrs watts; why is current more important? Two power amplifiers that have the same power supply voltage may not have the same output current. It should say that 2 amps with the same power supply voltage may not be able to deliver the same amount of current Hm ... are these two statem... | |
| Should an amp have a "personality"? It is also possible that you might prefer tube amp. I do too, I don't have one because I would want a great one and that is big expenses. Yes, it all comes down to cost ... if only I have a million lying around lols | |
| Should an amp have a "personality"? Some of those German audiophiles and a few others in their quest for the ///'neutral'/// sound get the sound that is sterile and lacks many colors and nuances of the original. You just used the word "neutral". | |
| Amplifier current vrs watts; why is current more important? Your typical amplifier outputs volts It may be a bit oversimplification. Two power amplifiers that have the same power supply voltage may not have the same output current. Ultimately it's neither the voltage or current, but the overall design... | |
| Should an amp have a "personality"? Incorrect part was assuming that it might not have one. That is impossible, at least from my point of view. That is nit-picking. If you're right then there should not be a word "neutrality" in the English language since there is nothing in the... | |
| Amplifier current vrs watts; why is current more important? Current is only of import when speakers dip to low impedance or have challenging phase angles, or both. Otherwise it is of little consequence. There are so many wrong's in this statement. | |
| Amplifier current vrs watts; why is current more important? Also a read from Pass Labs First Watt will help. | |
| Should an amp have a "personality"? even though you posed it incorrectly What does it mean? I thought you said an amp should have a "personality"? What is it that not "correct"? |
