| Fritz Carrera 7 Be and 300B power amp? I used to do audio shows with Fritz where we used the Carreras and Carbon 7s with a 10 watt 300B SET amplifier. The combination worked just fine in a room that was 12' x 19', and we got it pretty loud, even trying to intentionally clip the amp. Th... | |
| Gallium Nitride GaN Class D Amplifiers @mapman +1, I also own the Bel Canto REF1000Ms and use them to power my distributed bass array for a bi-amp set up. No shortage of bass there and it's very fast and articulate. When speaker designers of yore were making speakers with 32 and 16 oh... | |
| Gallium Nitride GaN Class D Amplifiers The Atma-Sphere M-60 always struck me as pleasingly warm in tone, but not syrupy. This is a wonky comparison, though, because I have no idea if the Atma-Sphere GAN amps convey the same house sound. Maybe someone who has heard both will respond. ... | |
| Damping Factor and Overall Negative Feedback. With regards to damping factor, is 4000+ really necessary? I know a lot of amps push that spec as if the greater the number the better the amp. I am not saying that this is Hegel's strategy because the use of negative feedback in general increases... | |
| Subwoofer speed is in the room, not the box ESLs will go extremely loud if they do not have to make low bass and they don't have to force an amp to drive a 30 ohm load. @mijostyn that is kind of my point for crossing over as high as possible, but Roger always told me the amp has a say in... | |
| Subwoofer speed is in the room, not the box So the question is...If the high pass method makes the speaker sound so much better, wouldn't every speaker manufacturer use this superior method? Are all these displays competing for high end sound missing the secret sauce that would make their ... | |
| Damping Factor and Overall Negative Feedback. You may want to check this out. It’s a somewhat raw previously unpublished chapter of a book from Roger A. Modjeski, the designer of the amplifier referenced by @tomic601 a couple posts above: https://www.ramtubes.com/chapter-3-amplifiers W... | |
| Subwoofer speed is in the room, not the box John Hunter of REL just has a different philosophy about how to use subwoofers. Not saying it's wrong, just different. As @tomic601 alluded to earlier I come from a different school of thought, one taught to me by Roger Modjeski (designer of the e... | |
| Subwoofer speed is in the room, not the box @audiokinesis is not wrong, but the SWARM solution, like adding EQ, and traps, is probably NOT what audiophiles expect when they first think of adding a sub. Again I agree, but audiophiles are less about education and more about aimless tweakin... | |
| Value of a preamp? The one value that rarely gets mentioned is the ability to control the interconnect such that it eliminates any artifacts. However, this will only happen with a pre-amp that supports the balanced line standard (AES-48) and connected to an amplifie... | |
| Subwoofer speed is in the room, not the box Excellent bass should be clear like air or water and evidence itself only by the scale and dynamic range of the music being played and seemingly come out of nowhere and ignores the physical size of the room. I agree and the way I achieved this ... | |
| Bending Sound In the video he uses a Marchand electronic crossover (which I highly recommend) to frequency divide the signal after the preamp and before the amps (80 Hz low pass goes to one amp that powers the passive woofers, 80 Hz high pass to another amp tha... | |
| Best Amplifier for LS3/5a One way is if people respond to it. I see it in the Speakers forum. | |
| Hum in speakers, and suggestions for stopping it Are both amps plugged into the same outlet? If so and if you can get an extension cord and plug one amp into another outlet, preferably one on another circuit. See if that cures anything. The outlet tester and cheater plug are also worth looking i... |
