| Should an amp have a "personality"? Andy, could you learn to read English? Not your English. | |
| Should an amp have a "personality"? viridian,could you translate your post to English? | |
| Should an amp have a "personality"? Exactly how do you determine neutrality? Are you using recordings where you were present in the studio when they were recorded? Or is neutrality a code word that justifies a purchasing decision?Im not real bright but always thought it was an obj... | |
| Should an amp have a "personality"? One amp to trump them all? Which amp you may have in mind? | |
| Amplifier current vrs watts; why is current more important? Andy, are you addressing the Q of the OP or changing the topic? I think the OP wants to know why current is more important than "watt", but I think what he really wants to ask is why two amplifiers may have the same "wattage" rating but one amp... | |
| Amplifier current vrs watts; why is current more important? As an analogy using cars, watt is like a car speed, whereas slew rate is car acceleration. Let's say you have two car: a good old American muscle car and a Ferrari. Both cars may be able to do 150mph, but the Ferrari will accelerate to 150mph mu... | |
| Amplifier current vrs watts; why is current more important? The late Charles Hansen used to say that an amplifier is basically a power supply design in which the supply is being modulated by an external musical signal. Wattage measurement is a static number that has no "time" variable, but in music, timin... | |
| Thiel Owners As for the CS6, it's hard to tell from JA review where the "reticence" comes from. When I listen to my speakers for example, I can tell whether the "reticence" of a particular frequency comes from the lack of transparency or a dip in frequency. ... | |
| Thiel Owners Hi beetlemania,I guess I was just speculating and mostly was out of curiosity. I have not personally heard the CS6 so it would be hard for me to form any conclusion. Hopefully someone here who had listened to the CS and would offer his or her op... | |
| Thiel Owners Andy2, curious to know what you see on that board. How did you surmise an all-pass filter? An all-pass filter suppresses no frequencies, right? Seems like such a "filter" would invariably allow the driver to excite its resonant modes. It's part... | |
| Thiel Owners Hi Tom,Here is the link to the xover picture. Based on the website, it is supposed to be a CS6 xover picture. I was afraid of revealing possible intellectual property, but I guess since the website is public, it should not be an issue, at least ... | |
| Thiel Owners I wonder if Tom or someone else could comment on this. I found an image of a supposedly CS6 xover for the midrange. Based on the image, it seems the xover employs an all-pass filter for the midrange. In my experience, the all-pass dues to the a... | |
| Thiel Owners Actually the Magnepan although physically composed of just one panel, it is not technically a single driver in term of phase response. Different parts of the panel will not move in complete synchronization therefore certain part of the panel will... | |
| Thiel Owners Andy2, Really? Is that where this is going? I suggest that you either offer more constructive posts or work on your cleverness. This thread has been taken hostage by unsound lately :-) | |
| The Audio Gods are tough but fair-Have you had the "Curse of the 300B" ? "The Audio Gods are" subjective - to each his own. 300B talents are limited to a small set of speakers as it cannot drive 99% of the speakers out there. |
