| Tube + SS bi-amping B&W 803 D3s? You should try it. Especially with those speakers which are known to be power hungry and on the bright side. I bi-amped for the first time 48 years ago and still have a tri-amped main system. Others on this site will gladly help you to do it corre... | |
| Is bi amping worth it ? Very good explanation russbutton! I started my multi-amp journey with a Lafayette integrated amp and a homemade Sanken amp using a couple 30watt hybrids. As mentioned previously, two key points are the electronic crossover to limit the amplifier... | |
| Is bi amping worth it ? I've been multi-amping for 48 years, never going back. Once you have bi or tri-amped, your biggest improvements occur when you limit the frequency bands into each amplifier. And when you get rid of all passive devices between each driver and the a... | |
| Persistent trouble with Keenwood KA-5500 First thought, output relay. Are meters affected? | |
| SAE X15A I don’t know what the opamp p/n 11-0163 is. But did you check for noise on the output of that channel? I’ve had problems with the pre-driver transistors. | |
| JBL d123 crossover yes or no ? No crossover is needed for either 8 or 16 ohm version. Pretty good sounding, but they don’t cover the high or low frequencies really well. I have enjoyed them for what they are! | |
| Yaaay... Where is it going to be? I did a quick search, but it didn’t come up. | |
| Denon DCD-3520 CD Player I would keep using it. If you have a problem, then you can decide if you want to repair or replace it. For equipment like that, don’t fix if it ain’t broke! I have an old Denon that still works great! | |
| Unscrupulous ebay buyers I won’t sell there! Sorry I think they will just take your money… | |
| Ideas for Biamp with mc611 and mc275? Yes, you will need to access the drivers and binding posts and disconnect the internal crossovers from the binding posts. Or simply add another set of binding posts. | |
| How do you stop house guest from damaging your speakers? 😁 grisly! | |
| Ideas for Biamp with mc611 and mc275? Active is the only way to go. And don’t forget to bypass the internal speaker crossovers! | |
| active crossover recommendation First Watt or Marchand would be great. Depends how much you want to spend and if you want to take time to find one used. For me, even very low cost TDM or DBX sounded better than passive crossovers. Best wishes. | |
| Arcam A65 with EMI driving me nuts… Have you determined if the noise is in the power amplifier section? I would agree that EMI would be in both channels. | |
| Tweeter distorting question I had a midrange from that era where the voice coil became partially delaminated from the diaphragm. I guess it could be the crossover, but I have not experienced that before. Good luck! |
