In my opinion, a high powered amplifier that can drive lower impedances will never be a proxy for a s... | |
| What is the proper loudness for listening? @snilf Wrote: Thank you, @ditusa. These are very informative links. For one thing, low frequencies are felt as well as heard. Surely you (ditusa) are not advocating for measurements that ignore low—and high, for that matter—frequencies! Your ... | |

| Warmer class D amps for magnepan? @secretguy Wrote: @arcticdeth More nonsense about Maggies. I agree! My Crown Studio reference one amp on Maggies is sublime! The Crown amp is class AB. 😎 Mike | |

| I feel it is time to upgrade my 1977 system....... @glm911, You have great speakers not far off (sound wise and spec wise) from my JBL 4435's and 4425's. That said, if you want to try tubes, Quicksilver Horn mono's would be a great choice. Your ears will thank you! 😎 Mike http://quicksilveraudi... | |
