| Bryston 9B ST FIVE CHANNEL vs Rotel RMB-1585 5ch @lighfighter2018 email or call the company , sometimes reviewers mention this. Ask around here.I found Benchmark AHB2 to be such an amp it is like class A but with lower (ridiculously)distortion. But it is $2k used if even one can get it.But I fou... | |
| King of High Current Amps If you want excess of 100 amps per channel check out amplifiers from Coda, the Coda Continuum Ts can do over 150 amps per channel peaks. | |
| Bryston 9B ST FIVE CHANNEL vs Rotel RMB-1585 5ch Generally I think amplifiers do not have a sound and if they did then it is not a good amplifier in my opinion. Most of the features you are talking about is how the amplifier can drive and control your speakers well. So that the sound has the att... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. If an amplifier is class A/B implementation does it not matter to mention the Class A bias i.e how many first watts are class A. Does crossover distortion matter?. If not why and if yes what do Class A/B designers do to make it go away or mitigate... | |
| Bryston 9B ST FIVE CHANNEL vs Rotel RMB-1585 5ch @lightfighter2018 Since you have $2k budget I wanted to point you to Odyssey. See no one needs 100 Watts all the time. Your amp must supply sufficient current and voltage swings when needed. I am sure Rotel is the most good looking all rounder but... | |
| Center channel amplification needed for Marquis XD, what are you using? I am thinking to give Emotiva A-300 a try, $400 for 300Watts @ 4 Ohm :). I am wondering if they have fans inside the amp?. Can't make out from the pictures. I wish it was a mono block with smaller form factor. | |
| Bryston 9B ST FIVE CHANNEL vs Rotel RMB-1585 5ch @lightfighter2018, I am assuming you are going to use a AV processor that calibrates the speakers for you to watch movies. That will take care of gain difference in using different amplifiers. There is no need to get same amp for LCR. Same amp for... | |
| Bryston 9B ST FIVE CHANNEL vs Rotel RMB-1585 5ch @lightfighter2018 why not?, but I think Monoprice is based off of ATI 1800 rather than the 4000 or the 6000 series, I could be wrong. From what I read 4000 is really good. You could go 3 channel with 4000 and buy anything for surrounds like Emotiv... | |
| Best bookshelf speakers For < $2k you can try Legacy Studio HD, https://legacyaudio.com/products/view/studio-hd/ . They have good reviews and legacy makes good speakers. | |
| help decide what av receiver under $1k to choose @allinone1989 Zero in on your speakers first and then you can look at what they need. If you want to spend less money then make sure to get efficient speakers i.e speakers that are 8 Ohm minimum and are 96 dB or more efficient. | |
| Bryston 9B ST FIVE CHANNEL vs Rotel RMB-1585 5ch If you want go with Class A/B there is ATI AT4005 a beast second only to its larger sibiling. I think an overkill for surrounds. Used ones are rare I guess most of them just keep them. | |
| Bryston 9B ST FIVE CHANNEL vs Rotel RMB-1585 5ch @lightfighter2018 Rotel is nice but the specs say only 4 Ohms minimum. I am sure it can do 3 Ohm as others are using it. | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. @ramtubes with Class D switching freq over 450/500 KHz these days do you still think output filtering is an issue?. How do I educate more about this ?. If the issue of filtering not a function of switching freq please correct me. Thanks again. | |
| Speaker recommendation for Home Theater I have been reading up on AV preprocess and I think getting something with Dirac Live can pay dividends. Emotiva XMC-1 seems like quite a value and it seems it is upgradable, really a worthy competitor to NAD M17V2. | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker @hifidream I will try one amp first and two later. Thanks , I prefer neutral components too. Will report back for sure. |
