| Ever Bought an Audio Product that was Stupid Good for the Money? No, I got super lucky. :) $250 is per kit, including case. ICEPower 250 ASP modules. Used, but working. :) | |
| Class D is just Dandy! @h2oaudio What you do with your amplifiers is between you and your part supplier, but these are high current outputs. Unless specifically rated for such low loads I would never encourage anyone to attempt this without further input from the manufa... | |
| Clarity Cap CMR Impressions Man I have been slacking. I've been afraid of dismantling my current crossovers to put these in. :) I didn't do a very good job of making them upgradeable. :) I'll try to get to it this weekend. I'm putting in a pair of caps, 4uF and 12uF Best,E | |
| Ever Bought an Audio Product that was Stupid Good for the Money? Yes! For a variety of reasons I ended up getting Class D amplifier kits for a ridiculous price. Around $250 per 250W/Ch amplifier. Fantastic sounding even at full price. At the prices I paid they were a complete steal.Best,E | |
| Class D is just Dandy! To sell a new product we must sell the problem first, so I can see where a lot of this is coming from. I don't have a problem with listening to the new when it comes out. I'm not easily swayed by naked kings though. Best,E | |
| Class D is just Dandy! @h2oaudio That's fascinating, for two reasons:1 - I did not know any ICEPower modules were rated for 1 Ohm2 - The output impedance is quite high at the top octaveHave you measured the speakers with those amps? Best,E | |
| Class D is just Dandy! @h2oaudio VERY interesting. :) Please elaborate on the amps you are using, and how the speakers are configured (bi-amped? etc.)Thank you!Erik | |
| Wilson New Speaker Master Chronosonic They don't look any more or less hideous than any other Wilson though, do they?? | |
| Class D is just Dandy! My own take on high efficiency speakers and flea tube amps:People LIKE the sloppiness. That is, the high impedance outputs of the amps make the electrical frequency response much more variable, and .... that's what some people like. :) I don't thi... | |
| Best musical sub under $1k? Hsu. But also, you can do research here:http://www.data-bass.com/home | |
| Wilson New Speaker Master Chronosonic They look a lot better in rainbow colors, @tpreaves I promise. ;) ;) ;) | |
| Class D is just Dandy! @kdude66 No worries at all. :) I think that the participation of so many here who have been pleasantly surprised and are enjoying Class D amps speaks for itself. We also went a little deep into theory without measurement. :-) We should stay away f... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Hi Phusis,Not sure why high efficiency would be a bad combo. The issue with different Class D designs, as covered, has more to do (in my mind) with impedance drops of exotics. They are dead quiet. When I first heard digital amplifiers it was with ... | |
| Wilson New Speaker Master Chronosonic Mine are more exclusive, and easier to move. :) I am in absolute envy Wilson will probably sell every single pair. :) Best,E | |
| Class D is just Dandy! A little confirmation bias there, George. The phase shift in the nCore, if ONLY due to the output coil is minor, about 10 degrees, and almost none from 10kHz or below. We don’t actually know the output phase shift without a direct measurement. We ... |
