| What is Floyd Toole saying about extra amplifier power and headroom? Hi OP:The thing about a sub is that you aren't creating a speaker with sub, you are creating a brand new speaker system, of which the sub will handle the lowest octave. So you are no longer just buying a new component, you are actively involved in... | |
| HELP advise PLEASE - Focal Sopra 2 Speakers - I want a tube amp but " Min 2.6ohm @ 104Hz " You can use a tube amp. What will happen is you will hear a depression in the output where the impedance is lowest. Will you like that? Depends. You may find this adds a bit of loudness. But for most listeners, the Focal dip usually pushes them to... | |
| What is Floyd Toole saying about extra amplifier power and headroom? So a couple of things. If you don't have a high pass filter on your main amp, the speaker and amp will be forced to reproduce the lower octaves, even though you won't hear it. Not only does this limit dynamic range, but it increases distortion he... | |
| What is Floyd Toole saying about extra amplifier power and headroom? Hi OP:Yep, this will integrate well, but leaving the mini's to go down to 40 Hz won't really improve your dynamic range. Lift up the crossover frequency to 80 Hz. | |
| How I'd spend money given no limits Dearest @millercarbonAbsolutely no one rememebers what I've said on Audiogon as much as you do. Your love makes me who I am. Erik | |
| How I'd spend money given no limits You know what I just thought of though, maybe if I got to go to the Munich High End show I'd have very different ideas about what kind of a high end system I'd actually feel worthwhile?? | |
| McIntosh vs Accuphase? Great speakers. I haven't heard Mc gear in a very long time, but the place to rule it in or out is in the treble. Best,Erik | |
| What is Floyd Toole saying about extra amplifier power and headroom? I think he’s referring to the overall truth that getting bass right is complicated. Too many focus on larger and larger speakers with lower -3dB points and bigger amps when the problem is the room and speaker integration with it. Power in a consum... | |
| How I'd spend money given no limits The point of how becoming a 1% er overnight is rather moot, as I am sure it’s not about to happen to me. ;-) The question really is, what do I like in my hobby? Am I a shopper, tinkerer or builder? Next is what do I admire. I absolutely admire me ... | |
| REL 12" Carbon vs JL Audio 12" Fathom There is nothing less musical than a poorly integrated sub. https://speakermakersjourney.blogspot.com/2020/04/how-to-not-buy-subwoofer.html | |
| How I'd spend money given no limits Yes, I'd absolutely have the room carefully treated, with lots of light piped in via optical fibers from outside. I'd do a combined HT system, with Anthem processors, and Luxman M-5 signature amps because: Meters. | |
| Plus and Minus Erik, yea I should show a little courtesy, I get to blabbin’. @oldhvymecIt wasn't you, it was me! :) | |
| "Addition of subwoofer to Music System" Hey there. Here's my current thinking on the matter. Pay attention, in advance, to how you will integrate your sub. https://speakermakersjourney.blogspot.com/2020/04/how-to-not-buy-subwoofer.html | |
| Plus and Minus Hey @oldhvymec I've decided to start a new thread to answer your question so as to not derail the OP. :) |
