| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker @kijanki never mind the website does mention "MAXIMUM AUDIO OUTPUT CURRENT29 A peak, per channel, both channels driven" | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker @kijanki My amps manual says the same i.e 29A peak into 1 Ohm. Is this per channel I am assuming?. Most amp state this number per channel if I understand that right. | |
| Best amp options between $2k-$4 to power Magnepan 1.7? @bdp24 +1 A used Sanders Magtech, designed for high current applications like your speakers. Check out Sanders website, they make speakers too. | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker @georgehifi Benchmark has no peer in controlling distortion , zero cross over distortion but without class A hassle. I will get answers regarding damping factor and total current. I am buying them used btw.@kijanki thank you so much pointing fhat ... | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker The reviews from Douglas, pooraudiophile.com and measurements from stereophile all encouraged me to try this amp out. I appreciate all their work and comments. Now I just have to decide if I need to buy two amps or just live with one. Does bridgin... | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker @georgehifi I cannot bi-amp since Legacy Aeris has the low frequency section already powered. | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker Word has come through that the speaker can only dip to 3.8 Ohm. So given that Benchmark AHB2 is stable till 3 Ohm. Now the question I have is that the amp is rated at 18A per channel unbridged. Once bridged what does it put out?. I think there is ... | |
| New power cord needed for speaker with powered subwoofer? @rvpiano lol!, our biases are quite strong, run a test like @prof is suggesting. You may be surprised at the result. Remember to run the experiment few times. | |
| Devore Nines vs. 0/93's From spending 30 minutes or so with both speakers I found Nines to be better at lower frequencies compared to O/93, you will feel it immediately. I felt O/93 just a bit more resolving at other frequencies or fuller sounding probably due to its pre... | |
| Efficient 2 way bookshelf/monitors under 2k 85 dB/ 1 Watt / 1 Meter @ 8 Ohm is not efficient. Turn it up a little and you will reach clipping way too soon with 10 Watts or less. Assuming you wont sit at 1 meter, if you do then you are golden!. | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker Is the raise of Noise floor from -112 dB to -109.2 dB really bad?, Seems like this is quite better than many implementations by wide margin at least 6 to 9 dB below, or did I get this wrong?. | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker @twoleftears I did read the article by pooraudiophile.com and did reach out to Benchmark a while ago and asked about possible tested numbers till 4 Ohm when bridged. Here is the response I have recieved:OUTPUT VOLTAGE INTO VARIOUS LOAD IMPEDANCES&... | |
| Time for a Pre change? Need the wisdom... EQ ? | |
| Which upgraded fuse is recommended for an Onkyo and Elac setup? I recommend getting the 3 meter version a deal at $17.5k instead of $20k. You save $2.5k !!!.My current amp is less than $2.5k, lucky me!. | |
| Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K) correcting @grk O/96 are $12,000 i.e $12k. I would say they are color speakers and if you are looking for neutral side just skip Devore completely. |
