| Partly passive preamp? Don’t know a single person who has kept one though. I know many that have dumped their $KKK dollar active preamps for them, just mine alone that has only one input, is nudging up to 1k world wide now. And going direct source to amp is just a bit ... | |

| Room Correction: Should I disconnect my REL Subwoofers before running room correction? @George. To clarify : So when running the RC, I would set the sub volume at 50% and the frequency at 100%? If I am understanding that, would I then leave the sub at those levels when playing music? Yes make sure you say yes to having a sub, volum... | |
| Partly passive preamp? Benchmark LA4 preamp Stereophile and Absolute Sound, sounds like it is pretty much a passive preamp ?? Why pay $2600.00 for it when the Goldpoint passives above are approx $500? depending on how many inputs needed.Cheers George | |
| Goldenear Triton One.R - can it be driven with low power tube amp? cakids OP Measurements indicate that the impedance between the critical 80 to 200 hz range is between 4.1 and 5 ohms. Cakids, you need to understand measurements a little more, Keith Howard’s are the EPDR measurements (combined impedance and - p... | |
| Goldenear Triton One.R - can it be driven with low power tube amp? Again George I don’t believe that anyone reading this thread will find it misleading or confusing. People can appreciate real listening encounters versus supposition. Supposition? the proof has been given by two reviews and two bench tests with g... | |
| Goldenear Triton One.R - can it be driven with low power tube amp? Here is what HIFI News reviewed and lab tested about these speakers, maybe now you'll realize that although the "8w SET made some nice sounds, they would have not been taken to perform at their best with an 8w set. LAB: KEITH HOWARD We measur... | |
| Goldenear Triton One.R - can it be driven with low power tube amp? The Tritons need to be driven by your own amp from 80hz up to 400hz there's a lot of power asked from an amp in this mid bass upper bass to 200hz region and this is where Stereophile has given the impedance/phase loading that's well below 4ohms in... | |
| Goldenear Triton One.R - can it be driven with low power tube amp? cakids OP This is what your 8w SET will be trying to drive. https://www.stereophile.com/images/1119GET1Rfig1.jpg The 1.5kw lower bass amp has nothing to do with this graph, as it’s just the passive part of the speaker your SET will have to drive... | |
| An Odd Question BTW, every object in your listening room is subject to sympathetic resonance. Yes but the body of a guitar is made specifically to resonate and amplify. mysterioso1 OP Just plug up the sound hole in them with a sock or tape, and damp all the s... | |
| Goldenear Triton One.R - can it be driven with low power tube amp? You really know your stuff regarding SE amps and high efficiency speakers. This sort of statement can be very misleading, and be misleading to many that don't know better. As the Wilson Alexia has nearly identical efficiency to these Goldenea... | |
| Room Correction: Should I disconnect my REL Subwoofers before running room correction? Room Correction: Should I disconnect my REL Subwoofers before running room correction? Not if it’s being correct as well with your mains. leave the xover on it up full and the level at 1/2 and the room correction should take care of the rest, eve... | |
| Transport to replace my cd player I have the CXC and it is a competent transport, no issues with its functionality I thought it was a bargain "no brainer purchase", nothing comes close for even twice the money. Maybe the Denafrips Avatar will.The only thing that really bug'ed m... | |

| Goldenear Triton One.R - can it be driven with low power tube amp? Sandy Gross, the former designer/owner of Golden Ear uses a 8wpc SET amp on his GE Triton Reference speakersI’d love to read about this, couldn’t imagine a 8w set driving this kind of load from 80hz> very well all the upper bass grunt is needed... |
