| What is Floyd Toole saying about extra amplifier power and headroom? @mapman according to Valin, "the MAGICO Mini is a textbook-perfect load (never dipping below 4 ohms and staying about 6 ohms for most of its frequency range)." | |
| What is Floyd Toole saying about extra amplifier power and headroom? @mapman based on what you were saying before about current delivery, with the BC's Peak Output Current @ 45A, wouldn't that be a little too low for the Minis? And much lower than the MF @ 140A? | |
| What is Floyd Toole saying about extra amplifier power and headroom? @mapman I'm going to try rolling off the Minis closer to 80hz or thereabouts with an active crossover and see what that does before I get a second JL sub, which I may do at some point down the road. I also want to demo the Bel Cantos from my local... | |
| What is Floyd Toole saying about extra amplifier power and headroom? @barts thanks, lots of customization with that unit. Are you familiar with the MiniDSP? Any thoughts on how they compare? Much appreciated. | |
| What is Floyd Toole saying about extra amplifier power and headroom? @gregm I'm going to look at hi passing the Minis with an active crossover, perhaps the Loki that @tketcham is recommending or a Mini DSP. Both look like inexpensive ways to figure out what's happening. And to answer your question, yes, this is onl... | |
| What is Floyd Toole saying about extra amplifier power and headroom? @tketcham that looks great. This is definitely the way. I was also just looking at a MiniDSP unit. Is that the same as the Loki? It looks like an active crossover that controls roll off frequencies for anything connected to it. It's also super ine... | |
| What is Floyd Toole saying about extra amplifier power and headroom? @noble100 thank you for that. Makes a ton of sense. I've been very pleased with the tightness of the bass coming from the JL sub and I was considering a second one a while back. I think, based on your comments and a few others', that my first orde... | |
| What is Floyd Toole saying about extra amplifier power and headroom? @erik_squires thanks for the links. I read both articles and they have me thinking of the one area in my room I haven't treated, the ceiling. The sounds I'm trying to correct is at admittedly very loud levels, so it's possible that it's creating r... | |
| What is Floyd Toole saying about extra amplifier power and headroom? @mapman thank you! Very helpful! | |
| What is Floyd Toole saying about extra amplifier power and headroom? @millercarbon, I never said I felt stuck with or married to my speakers. The Magico Minis sound incredible to my ears. And I paid a fraction of what they cost new. So I have zero regrets. I'm here exploring tweaks to my system. If I wanted to read... | |
| What is Floyd Toole saying about extra amplifier power and headroom? @mapman I've never been able to find anything showing the MF power output @ 4ohms but regarding current, the manual says, "current peak-to-peak: 140 Amps." FWIW, it's a stereo amp (dual mono) and not an integrated one. Knowing that, would that poi... | |
| What is Floyd Toole saying about extra amplifier power and headroom? @onhwy61 sorry, I don't have an SPL meter. And I'm not sure I understand the distinction between dynamic compression and soundstage alterations. I'll have to dig around and pay more close attention. Thanks! | |
| What is Floyd Toole saying about extra amplifier power and headroom? @atmasphere , I just finished the section in the book on bass arrays and my room dimensions don't fit the use case that Toole recommends it for. My room is very irregularly shaped and small, so I wouldn't be able to arrange the subs the way he sug... | |
| What is Floyd Toole saying about extra amplifier power and headroom? @erik_squires I've considered an active crossover to accomplish what you suggest. My local shop didn't think it would have much of an impact but I'm still curious. I feel like there should be as little overlap of frequencies produced by both the s... | |
| What is Floyd Toole saying about extra amplifier power and headroom? @mapman very interesting. So what would I do to increase current delivery? I've done a fair amount to treat the room and I feel like my sub is already pretty well integrated. Here's my room:https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/9016 |
