Duh-Forgetting Hifi Basics 101-crossovers
DrewThanksWasn't sure about he physics of i all but ha been erroneously informed that getting active x-over with correct slope that sounded me right would get 1 1/2 of power total.I have a 80's $1200 (now $300-$400) amp and thought it might be goo...

Reversing absolute phase
Also don't confuse "reverse" on some pre-amps (was poular back in 50's/60's) as when it says "Stereo-Mono-Reverse) all you are doing is swapping what came out of left speaker for what now comes out of right".So if your bass is more prominent in le...

Krell KMA 100 or other Krell power amp
Have a KSA300S that is only Krell to go into constant 1 ohm load (all other Class A's double power each havlfing of load).Like all Krell they are precise and reason in 900's everybody demoed speakers with Krell was deep vise like grip on bass.On d... 
Bel Canto Ref 1000 and Magnepan 1.6 speakers?
It's what I would spend on a 3.6.Me personally I think a good used Bryston 4BST is right choice or an earlier Evo amp that can be converted to mono.150 from 300 amp does not do justice.Maybe two of them.But 500 watts is usable but maybe overkill j...
