| Pass INT-250 for B&W 800's but i can tell you that a bipolar amp will be better with b&w speakers but i also can tell you that the b&w speakers are volume limited so huge power may not be required in a normal room So correct, also the bi-polar Gryphon Diablo 300 is... | |
| Class D needing switching in the GHz range is really quite laughable. There you go again, he said "that provide switching frequencies of several MHz or even GHz." "Even" is the word there sunshine, looking towards the future would be even better to ha... | |
| FUSES, Finally!? I’ve got stuff that can be dabbed on any ordinary fuse that will make it a whole lot better. Synergistic fuses have a gray blob on there that they specifically instruct you not to remove. Is no one curious why the gray blob matters? Buy some of th... | |
| Pass INT-250 for B&W 800's jeffreyw All the above recommendations will sound fine, but you bought the B&W 800 because they are B&W’s flagship speaker, why settle for an amp that is "fine" with them. The Pass won’t have amperage ability of the Gryphon, and many say h... | |
| Class D I don’t see anything. That GHz comment really makes me suspect his depth of knowledge on the topic is really quite weak. True, "you see nothing."Please, and to state his knowledge is weak, is seriously laughable coming from you. | |
| FUSES, Finally!? nonoise I don’t see how his posts aren’t automatically removed for the bile and insults he constantly uses. danvignau O I did not find Georgie to be so demeaning. I agree with himThanks dan, he only said that because he put himself in... | |
| Pass INT-250 for B&W 800's The Maggies are just a straight benign resistive 4-6ohm load, nothing like the B&W800’sAnd the Gryphon will give even more of that Class-A sound.My friend a very good tech, has the 800’s and owned my NC500’s (Belcanto ref600m copies) monoblock... | |
| Pass INT-250 for B&W 800's jeffreyw The more I look at the Gryphon Diablo 300 the more it’s the amp for you, it sticks out 300w into 8ohms and still belts out 950w into 2ohms!!! For an integrated this is unsurpassed from what I’ve seen, and should mate perfectly with the B... | |
| Class D If Class D was even 10% as bad as he makes it out to be it would be a non-issue.Laugh all you like, Putz! Like I said you are the rumour spreader, not once have I said Class-D is bad, if fact I’ve praised the Hypex NC500 with linear power supply... | |
| Mytek Brooklyn Bridge II with Roon Core coming in June! Just build up your CD collection Patrick, with "least compressed issue release CD’s" http://dr.loudness-war.info/ even if you have to buy used for $5 on ebay, click on the album name and get the catalogue number to search for that issue.EG:http:... | |
| Pass INT-250 for B&W 800's jeffreyw The 800’s are very current hungry, earlier ones even more so, look more towards large "bi-polar" (Gryphon) integrated ’s they will give more current into those demanding loads, rather than large "mosfets" (Pass). There are minima of 3.15... | |
| Class D Correct, if you want big Class-D wattage at 4ohms the get a Behringer 6000watter for just $599USD! for 6000watts! With DSP!!!!https://www.parts-express.com/Behringer-NX6000D-Ultra-Lightweight-Class-D-6000W-Power-Amplifier-with...Cheers George | |
| FUSES, Finally!? danvignau What would be something not too expensive that would be a good start.Just buy a bunch of new Bussman fuses for a dollar each, clean all the fuse contact holders and squeeze them together for a stronger hold on the fuse.Don’t be a "gul... | |
| An audio rack that really does make a difference. I'm beginning to agree with @georgehifi, although not the general tone which is somewhat offensive I'm quite sure removing the equipment from the middle altogether will yield even better soundstage but I don't have that option. Yes and proba... | |
| Class D If Class D was even 10% as bad as he makes it out to be it would be a non-issue. You are the rumour spreader, not once have I said Class-D is bad, if fact I’ve praised the Hypex NC500 with linear power supply monoblocks (given the right loading) t... |
