| 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... | |
| The Psychology of Constant (Equipment) Change @mahgister Thanks and good points. Best, 😊 | |
| The Psychology of Constant (Equipment) Change @ahuvia Thank you for the insight you provided which intelligently makes total sense, at least to me. Taking the time to interject such worthwhile, edifying comments can only benefit those who are open to what you are saying. The comp... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @markmuse Thank you for your helpful input. I am in no rush as well, and am definitely interested in how the Backert Rhythm/ S5.5 performs vs the Backert/AGD with the speaker(s) you have in your system. Please keep us posted. Thanks ag... | |
| The Psychology of Constant (Equipment) Change @dgarretson Bingo! makes sense |
