| Acoustic Zen Crescendo Bill,This is why at the end of the day everyone simply must trust what they hear and be content. Two people can be in the same listening room critiquing a system and comparing/swapping components and form very different impressions that are "equal... | |
| Acoustic Zen Crescendo Just a thought, Viva Auroras seldom appear on the used market (I can understand why). A pair of these would make the Cresendo sing to the heavenly angels above in my opinion. Wig uses the Line Magnetic 508ia an 805 SET 48 watts and says they'r... | |
| Acoustic Zen Crescendo sksos1,I can believe that the 60 watt Atmasphere mono blocks overall outperform the more powerful Merrill with the exception of playing very loud rock music. As you note, some high power amplifiers can lack liveliness. I’ve heard this result more ... | |
| What is best tweeter height for the Devore O/96? Erik, thanks for your clear and logical explanation as a speaker designer. I’d say that given the reviews and owners' positive feedback testimony, John Devore is obviously doing much right in the design/building of his speakers.Charles | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... This was an exciting game .The speed and explosiveness of the players particularly on defense (both teams) was near NFL caliber. They can close in on you in pursuit just like the pros demonstrate every Sunday. Between these 2 teams there's defini... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Leading up to this game it was discussed on this thread that Clemson has the athletic ability to be competitive with mighty Bamaand that's how it played out. Given how Clemson dominated Ohio State you'd have to realize they could give Bama a legit... | |
| Why are low impedance speakers harder to drive than high impedance speakers Mapman,I don't get the sense of "pundits" taking sides. The OP raised an interesting question regarding the popularity of 4 ohm speakers. This generated a very good discussion. We agree that one fine aspect of High End audio is the many choices/pa... | |
| Why are low impedance speakers harder to drive than high impedance speakers Well, if high efficiency speakers are more difficult to build by a factor of 10! that pretty much confirms my suspicion as to why their numbers are much less compared to the many 4 ohm speakers available. Why would a speaker designer "bother" wit... | |
| Leben Cs600 and LM 219iA hi5.Your Leben amplifier has an excellent reputation and I imagine that it's a very good match with the Zu speakers. These 2 amplifiers are fundamentally different designs . Push pull 6l6GC/el 34 compared to 845 (with 300b driver) SET,yep,they're... | |
| Why are low impedance speakers harder to drive than high impedance speakers Hi Bdp24,For sake of this discussion I’m referring to speaker load impedance characteristics that remain "relatively flat. So my hypothetical comparison would be a 4 ohm vs a 16 ohm. A speaker such as the Quad that you cite with its extreme fluctu... | |
| PS Audio BHK 300 mono VS Modwright KWA 150SE mono VS D'agostino Classic stereo Dave,Your impressions regarding the Classe' models got me curious and I did a discussion search. Nearly unanimous agreement with you of the DR10 being definitely inferior to the DR25 model. Your response to Thieliste is àccurate and apparently wi... | |
| PS Audio BHK 300 mono VS Modwright KWA 150SE mono VS D'agostino Classic stereo Hi Dave,Opamp in the circuit kills the sound, good warning/advice Dave. I'll acknowledge that there may be some good sounding opamps available. I think generally speaking most audio components are better off without them. Interesting that two amp... | |
| Why are low impedance speakers harder to drive than high impedance speakers Unsound,That makes sense and with the advent of transistor power amplifiers I can see where the 4 ohm load speakers becomes more plausible to manufacture . One could make a case for either type of load characteristic. Higher impedance =easier load... | |
| Why are low impedance speakers harder to drive than high impedance speakers gs5556,That is a very good analogy! I’ve often wondered why given the reality of Ohm’s Law, why do many speaker designers revert to 4 ohms rather than 8 ohms (or higher) speaker impedance. As Al noted in his reply, Ralph (Atmasphere) has pointed o... | |
| Classic el34 tube amps versus current models Congratulations on your purchase and many years of listening joy. Charles |
