| Soundlab Speakers - Budget Amp Suggestions If you are on a budget and have A1s and B1s, had it ever occurred to you to sell the B1s and use that to finance an amplifier that can drive the A1s properly? That would seem to be a lot more expedient than trying to find two competent amplifiers ... | |
| What is the best amplifier for Tannoy Kensington ? Dave_72, you do get some advantage from doing biamping (without an electronic crossover, as opposed to running just a single amp) but it is not all that much.For example, our amps can be monostrapped for more power and in situations where a custom... | |
| Sealed vs. Ported Speakers IME/IMO one of the advantages of a ported design is that they are often easier to drive and are less affected by box coloration. Sealed enclosures have to be a lot more dead to deal with the compression forces inside the box. BTW, passive driver s... | |
| Need understanding on amperage Philipwu, to drive a 1 ohm load is a difficult task for any amplifier.You might want to consider that if the load is difficult to drive, the amp will not sound its best! This is true of all amplifiers.For tube amps this requires a special transfor... | |
| Soundlab Speakers - Budget Amp Suggestions It depends on a lot of factors. If the DAC has trouble driving cables you might be better off with a good line section, especially if the amps are far apart. Also, some DACs don't have volume controls... and you might want more than just that one ... | |
| New Schroeder linear tonearm, any thoughts? There's a little guy in there that moves it for you :)It is the tracking force in tandem with the skating forces that arise if the arm gets out of tangent that realigns it. If you are thinking this relies on really good bearings you are correct! | |
| How to get the impact of a live concert? My speakers at home are rated at 97 db. My room is 17' x 21' and I listen about 12 feet from the speakers. I have always felt that our MA-1s (140 watts) did the best job- it seems impossible to clip them on that speaker. Duke just illustrated in s... | |
| Soundlab Speakers - Budget Amp Suggestions If your amplifier supports balanced inputs then I would feed it with a balanced source.The reason there are balanced cables and a balanced system is that it offers you the ability to have the cables drop out of the overall system sound. I am sure ... | |
| What is the single best pre amp you have ever hear Bill, you are not the only one that noticed that... | |
| New Schroeder linear tonearm, any thoughts? Lewm, I think that is driven by skating forces that arise as soon as the arm is out of tangent. If you'll notice the cartridge is mounted square in the headshell- no offset angle- which would increase said forces. | |
| Soundlab Speakers - Budget Amp Suggestions Is your amp single-ended input or balanced? | |
| What is the best amplifier for Tannoy Kensington ? If you are installing an electronic crossover, the answer is you will loose detail in doing so. Bi-wiring is a means of getting speaker cables to sound better, which is why some speakers have the capability. | |
| New Schroeder linear tonearm, any thoughts? Larry, if you looked at that link I posted, you would have no questions. | |
| Soundlab Speakers - Budget Amp Suggestions Gwho, when you read that stuff about active eq/room correction, it really does not apply to a high resolution system or the people saying really aren't listening that closely. If you want a crossover, talk to Tom Tutay 850-244-3041 he makes the be... | |
| Innersound Electrostatic amp driving Quad esl 57's The danger with the '57 is arcing damage due to too much power, hence the 25 watt thing.But they are also very tube friendly (in fact were designed for tubes), and will make bass with a tube amp that they will not with transistors. If I were you I... |
