| Bookshelf speaker pairing with subwoofer one more important item to revisit is the amp power. Fritz will be easier to drive than ATC. It's a moot point though if your amp watts, current, internal power supply are on the high side. Always make sure you have enough juice for the squawker!... | |
| Bookshelf speaker pairing with subwoofer Btw, a few of the posts mention the importance of having a good idea of what you want in terms of audio characteristics. Almost any bookshelf speaker pair you purchase above $1k is going to sound really good to you. Here is an example though of wh... | |
| Bookshelf speaker pairing with subwoofer Agree that Fritz (made in USA) is worth checking out. the Fritz Carbon 7 SE MK2 is recently listed at $2.8K new on US audio mart. That’s a good value for an excellent speaker. It’s more of a full range stand-mount ported speaker with a larger 7" b... | |
| Bookshelf speaker pairing with subwoofer @m20j201 m20j, I was on a similar search for over a year. My room size is 12 x 18’ similar to yours. After thorough researching, and in some cases, also listening to several stand mount (bookshelf) speakers to integrate with my subs, I came to a... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @jetter Thanks for your kind words. I have been into audio for 50+ years and am still an amateur. I know just enough to be dangerous. I am certain any electronic engineer in the group can pick this apart; however, I think it gets the ge... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @aolmrd1241 Thank you Mark! Yes agree and I should have made that clear. The S5.5 is still giving Class A into 4 ohm and likely lower impedances too but at power below 50 watts. Even 40wpc Class A power is excellent though because that... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @jetter I have reviewed specs of countless amps and haven’t found one yet, no matter if it is called a Class A amp or Class AB that gives you the information you are asking for; rather you will get what each manufacturer decides to give you as y... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @aolmrd1241 Does this sound like a correct interpretation based on your recent post and my discussion with Doug. In a sense the S5.5 is a 50 WPC at 8ohm Class AB amp (it may be even slightly higher) except the first 50 watts are Class A;... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @yyzsantabarbara What was your music source gear feeding the serene and the passive? Great find on a simpler, cost effective, yet capable, passive path! Kudos to you and your friend! | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @aricaudio Thank you Aric for your fast reply and the information. I can picture them better now on their stands; the Spectre 12 w/stands being about the same height as a Magnepan LRS+ . I think that's a great height for the ribbon t... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @johnah5 Hey, TJ. Those new Spectre 12 speakers from Aric Audio look really impressive! High quality! In your post you refer to them as a "large stand mount". The Spectre 12’s are very close to the size and weight of a Klipsch Forte 3/4 floor st... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @yyzsantabarbara On your last point on the #16 and this is from the manual as well as Teajays past review on the 16 powerhouse amplifier. No.16 is 150wpc/8 AB, 300wpc/4 AB with the first 100watts being pure Class A into 8 ohms or 4 o... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @yyzsantabarbara Thank you for your helpful comments as always! Much appreciated! To all from my previous posts, Doug may have been extra conservative with me because I am in a Magnepan LRS+ phase. I really am not a specification ... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @johnah5 Thanks Teajay and glad to hear the S5.5 doubles down to 100 Class A watts into 4 ohm. Interestingly enough, the No. 16 amplifier is reported to deliver the first 100 watts as Class A into 8 ohms or 4 ohms, and above 100 watts, it's Cla... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @johnah5 Hi Terry, do you have solid confirmation from Doug at Coda that the S5.5 puts out 100wpc at 4 ohm in Class A, not AB (or some hybrid?)? I recommend checking on this just to be sure just for sake of accuracy. The S5.5 is sonic... |
