| Thinking of replacing my Bat spaceheater with class D, real world thoughts please I should also say, I really really find the NuForce hybrid approach VERY interesting indeed. I would love to compare it to the other popular topologies such as Hypex, ICEPower and Pascal. | |
| Thinking of replacing my Bat spaceheater with class D, real world thoughts please I think if you can, you should only trust your own ears. I suspect the Class D amps will be different, like any modern solid state amp would be. Will you like it? Does it go in the right direction for you is a deeply personal judgement.I will say ... | |
| Apartment Dweller's Paradise - The Ideal 2 ch. system? What about their total footprint though for the maggies? I mean, don't they need a lot of floor space in front and behind? I'm waiting on someone to bring up small, horn loaded speakers like say the Hsu satellites:http://www.hsuresearch.com/produc... | |
| Apartment Dweller's Paradise - The Ideal 2 ch. system? Or skip subs altogether. :) | |
| Apartment Dweller's Paradise - The Ideal 2 ch. system? Personally I like Arcam integrateds and Monitor Audio bookshelves. | |
| Need help ... Get pro help with room acoustics. Call GIK Acoustics. Great people, free advice and best value products. | |
| Amps from the 1980's -- What gear holds up sonically? Reliably? Thanks to all of the contributors so far, this has turned out to be a great thread. I appreciate hearing about all of the experiences and especially about gear I never heard or saw myself. I want to take a moment to acknowledge that our pleasure, ... | |
| Speaker phase observation and question? Hi Almarg,I am definitely on team "easy to drive speakers." Get easy to drive speakers and a lot of amps will sound really great. Get demanding speakers, and your amp costs may go up considerably. So make sure if your speaker is demanding that it'... | |
| Coda Tech Amplifier My last audition was a long time ago, so I would not put much weight on my comments in evaluating the newest Coda products.Best,E | |
| Coda Tech Amplifier Well, when I say you really need to listen to it, I say so neutrally.While it was robust, I found the amp QUITE cool sounding. More blue than red. Kind of how I felt about older Krell equipment. It was also a lot finer and more delicate across the... | |
| Speaker phase observation and question? I really again, suggest anyone who wants to learn more would do so with the LM-1 simulation files. You can review the frequency, electrical and acoustic phase of the drivers by themselves, and then see how the crossover adds to it.Best,E | |
| Coda Tech Amplifier I believe the designers are Threshold alumni. Sander's Magtech amplifiers are built by them, with significant enhancements and spec changes here and there to improve ESL performance and power supply stability. I would say you absolutely should lis... | |
| Speaker phase observation and question? Hi @kosst_amojan,Well that is unusual, but not the end of the world. Well, I consider that quite predictable, this is what math and simulations are for. But your comments seemed to be mixing up phase and polarity. Best,E | |
| Full range or subwoofer with bookshelfs for best bass at low to moderate volume? Guys, if you hate crossovers, get a sealed 2-way,plus a sub and don’t use a crossover at all. Run the satellites full range, and only use a crossover and EQ on the sub. You won’t get big gains in the amp's dynamic range, but you will avoid the el... | |
| Time for Two Ways ! I have never heard Fritz, but he's picking great components and selling at bargain prices.They are definitely speakers I would have to audition before spending more. |
