| Speaker wattage question That math is too complicated for me. But the question was not about the precise figures but about real life situation and the position of the volume control. sorry. I thought i had simplified it as much as i could. Well, one thing you could do it ... | |
| Speaker wattage question inna2,183 posts08-11-2016 10:46pmIf the speakers are rated to be able to handle 200 watt/ch continuously and I am using 1000 watt/ch amp, how do I know where those 200 watts are, speaking of volume? what erik_squires wrote is correct. Another meth... | |

| Speaker wattage question Harmonic distortion is present in all equipment to a (hopefully) small extent but in most clipped amplifiers this distortion increases dramatically. Your speaker’s crossover dutifully routes any of these signals higher in frequency than the crosso... | |

| Speaker wattage question paraneer639 posts08-10-2016 5:09pmSpeaker wattage ratings are generally meaningless. The two key specs are impedance and sensitivity when matching an amp to a pair of speakers. I wouldn't say that speaker wattage rating is generally meaningless ... | |

| Is upgrading pre worth it? limniscate18 posts08-08-2016 3:39pmIn my experience, the amp makes a much bigger impact than the preamp. I was using an Outlaw 975 as my DAC and pre and then switched to an Odyssey Candela and Schiit Bifrost Multibit DAC. There was a difference, b... | |

My apologies too for coming down on you so hard. I could have phrased that better myself.It's hard to know how technical the audience is wh... | |
| Priorities... @bombaywalla same can be said for you. You jumped into this conversation not knowing anything about my setup as well. You seem to want to banter with me more than help the OP! I want to totally avoid bantering with you. I jumped into this thread t... | |

| Atmasphere amps trustable? stevecham,the OP’s post is derogatory, clearly he’s not done any research on this matter, doesn’t know that Atma-sphere is most helpful in these forums & that his amps are in production for the last 40 yrs, are very reliable & yet we shoul... | |
| Relationship of amplifier sound to transformer quality? williewonka1,019 posts08-04-2016 9:45amAnother factor in transformer selection....The transformer acts like a reservoir for electrical energy.When loud, dynamic music (very fast, like drums) is encountered, the energy required to realistically rep... | |
| Priorities... carmenc59 posts08-03-2016 1:57pmAs an owner of Tannoys, you do not need Gamut monoblocks to power them. Yes, you need some clean power, but quality is the most important factor. Decide if you want tube or ss. As for me, I went tube pre and ss amp ... |
