| Watts and power From Stereophile,https://www.stereophile.com/reference/707heavy/index.htmlEPDR is simply the resistive load that would give rise to the same peak device dissipation as the speaker itself. | |
| Watts and power EPDR is not a measure of impedance, nor does it represent what the maximum current will be for a given voltage. EPDR is used as a measure for amplifier dissipation loading (not delivered power either).EPDR is a measure of the maximum loading point... | |
| Recommendation for an audiophile speaker cord that is not "bright"? Leaded solder is even softer than lead-free, so it flows even more. With speaker wire, it just means your screw contact will loosen up and your contact resistance goes up. The average power is normally low, so no biggie. When people do this with A... | |
| Watts and power P = I*I*R. Alexia's lowest impedance is 2 ohms. That means 80*80*2 = 12,800 watts (minimum) during that peak.V = I * R = 80 * 2 = 160 volts minimum (to achieve 80 amps).The Antileon is 175 watts into 8 ohms suggesting a maximum rail voltage of so... | |
| How good can it get, really? - my stereo sounds amazing! Furniture is not a replacement for room treatment. It can even make things worse. | |
| DIY speaker isolation base for a wood floor If anyone would like a quick refresher on springs, mass, and resonance, they may enjoy this:https://www.newport.com/t/fundamentals-of-vibrationNewport is a scientific instruments company mainly focused in anything related to optics and light and a... | |
| DIY speaker isolation base for a wood floor Does Sorbathane convert motion into heat? ... yesIs turning motion (vibration) into heat as opposed to sound where cabinet motion is an issue a good thing? ... yesDo springs store energy? ... well of course yes. The better the spring, the more per... | |
| Subwoofers and Phase Question For You Sub Experts Ideally the sub should be crossing over from the mains at a frequency where localization isn’t possible rendering time alignment not critical. If you force time alignment, then you force maximum wave reinforcement in the listening position which n... | |
| Watts and power 1) I have never made any claims about the SQ of the amplifier.2) Do you have proof it cannot deliver the required current into 2 ohms to achieve 1500W?3) What does "residue of current starvation" mean? Are you implying they are selling an 8000W ... | |
| How good can it get, really? - my stereo sounds amazing! +1 jetter! | |
| DIY speaker isolation base for a wood floor If one was purely trying to isolate than springs make sense but that is based on the assumption that is the best path forward always. It is not. | |
| DIY speaker isolation base for a wood floor Spring based systems don't store energy .... Ooooookay.The more you try to store energy the worse things get. It’s a vicious cycle. That’s why spring based systems rule the night. They don’t store energy.What makes Sorbothane the best energy-absor... | |
| Looking for a Tweeter for an Energy RC22. Its a Reference Connoisseur Found the rebuild company.http://www.abitech.ca/$160 CDN per speaker for rebuild and you need to do both tweeters. $320 CDN plus shipping.I would not buy a used one. | |
| DIY speaker isolation base for a wood floor May I suggest Fastenal for springs (or any number of other industrial suppliers). They have literally hundreds of options and they are dirt cheap. Many diameters, lengths, wire size, and very inexpensive. That let’s you much better match your comp... | |
| How good can it get, really? - my stereo sounds amazing! The answer is almost always your room. If it is not your room, then the answer is likely your speakers and how they interact with your room. Maybe it is your amp in combination with your speakers, and maybe you have screwed that up with a speaker ... |
