| Bi Amping... worth it? The "power" of the amp has nothing to do with the gain. For instance, ALL Krell amps have virtually the same gain, regardless of the power rating.Richard | |
| Bi Amping... worth it? I use active bi-amping which is the use of an electronic crossover BEFORE the amps. The signal is split into highs and lows before the amps. Passive bi-amping does not split the signal and therefore no electronic crossover is needed, nor is any al... | |
| Suggestion for Amp to 2 ohm loads? KRELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | |
| Bi Amping... worth it? Yes, it would be worth it (in my not so humble opinion).If you got an electronic crossover, you would have to alter your speakers. It is expensive to do it right, so I would just start with passive bi-amping. (The improvement if done right is mind... | |
| I need quick help- Bi-amp Threshold/McIntosh I think to easily understand the concept, consider the following: Person Q uses one three hundered watt amp to run his two way speaker system. His speakers have a woofer and a mid-high speaker. The speakers have an internal crossover that devides ... | |
| I need quick help- Bi-amp Threshold/McIntosh Plato, I think you are confusing bi-amping with bi-wiring:I went from one 300watt/channel Krell amp to two 300 watt/channel Krell amps. Therefore, I went from 300 to 600 watts per channel. (or in my case with 4 ohm speakers, from 600 to 1200 watts... | |
| I need quick help- Bi-amp Threshold/McIntosh Plato,Altough I am not familiar with the 2700, all McIntosh amps that I know of have gain contols, so matching gain should be easy.Also your statement that bi-amping will be of little or no benefit, is wrong. There are are many reasons why it will... | |
| Novice attempting to bi-amp. Help For what it is worth:I actively bi-amp my speakers and set up the amps the way G13 said (horizontally), but I have two different amps. I have been told by many (including Dan D'Agostino of Krell fame) that if I had two of the same amp, I would be ... | |
| Best SS 200 wpc amps I would suggest spending a little more money and swinging for the FPB300 (not the "x" version).The 300 has a much larger power supply and sounds smoother. I use it on the mid/high section of my actively bi-amped B&W800's. The sound is WONDERFU... | |
| Definition: Excessive woofer cone excursion RWWEAR is right. You can never have too much power...clean power that is.My speakers are rated at a senstivity of 93db. My amplifiers can pump a minimum of 1200 watts/channel of good clean Krell power into them. Can't hurt them unless I forget to ... | |
| Use a gDVD/CD player as transport with a good DAC? I agree completely with JC Audio! Buy the best transport you can afford.A great deal would, in my opinion, would be a used Theta Data II or III, or EAD transport.Richard | |
| Best power for 10,000 The cost of a used Krell KRC-HR plus an FPB amp (the 600 or a pair of 350M's) should fit just into your budget.Have fun!Richard | |
| Transport - will it really make an improvement I have found that in most cases, the transport is MORE important than the Converter..Richard | |
| Nautilus owners upgrade to what? I don't know the figure now, but, a few years ago 80% of all classical music was mastered on B&W speakers. Therefore, all else being somewhat equal, the B&W's will generally sound closer to what the engineer heard than with other speakers.... | |
| Active crossovers If you use the Krell KBX, it has gain adjustment for each Highs and Lows, making the need for adjustable volume on the amp totally unnecessary. In fact, the less in the signal path the better, so unless I could bypass the amps volume control, I wo... |
