| What was the most expensive record that you ever bought ? I have to cheat a bit and say $450 for the 250th Anniversary CD box set of the complete recordings of Beethoven on the D.G. lable. | |
| Watts! How many do we need? @dogearedaudio You are correct that Sanders is speaking about ESL for the most part. I listened to your attached file. Very interesting. I would suggest you could start at the 25 min mark as he doesn't really get into the meat of the subject... | |
| Watts! How many do we need? @immatthewj Scroll up about 15 posts and you will see I pasted a potion of the paper and included a link to the full paper. Sanders does a good job explaining the perceived difference in tubes and SS, and why many systems may be underpowered. ... | |
| Watts! How many do we need? @immatthewj I think that Sanders covered this question fully in his paper? | |
| Watts! How many do we need? Beyond my paygrade. We should all buy and listen to what we like. There is no one right answer when it comes to amp power. As pointed out in several comments, which I agree with, there are many factors that determine the proper combination of e... | |

| Watts! How many do we need? @mlsstl I'll be the first to admit how little I know about much of this hobby. I believe what Sanders is trying to get across is the fact that many people are oblivious to the fact their amps may be clipping and are under powered, and that their... | |
| Thumper’s Mother Hey, let's see if we can break the 900+ posts recorded so far on the Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews thread. I'm sure if we really put our hearts and minds into the challenge, and start getting really mean spirited about it, we can pull it o... | |
| Watts! How many do we need? This is a portion of the text taken from Roger Sander's white paper on amp power requirements. I found it to be very interesting and it appears to be pertinent to this discussion? Take it away Roger: "To see what is going on with an amp when pl... | |
| Watts! How many do we need? @ghdprentice I assume it makes a great deal of difference on the individual speaker you are using. I've always heard there is a difference between "tube" watts and SS watts. On this very sight I have read that tube watts are roughly 3 times as ... | |
