| Preamp and impedance question gte357s OP @georgehifi Please excuse my limited knowledge, I don’t fully understand the phase angle and stuff. Don’t listen to the conspiracy theorists here, just read this article in Stereophile "How Loudspeakers Torture Amplifiers" used by St... | |
| Parasound A21 and A21+: Significant Improvements in SQ? Also Is the new A21+ a John Curl update? To me it wouldn’t matter, as those updates are just bigger, more, better things to do to it, everything has a monitory max to it, the A21+ has more build budget so it's got higher retail cost.Most of the di... | |
| Suggestions on Integrated Amp./Seperates to Run my Klipschorns herdegen OP Suggestions on Integrated Amp./Seperates to Run my Klipschorns I had a pair of the old ones, 20 years agoNone of those amps power is needed, you can almost get ear spitting levels by rubbing to sticks together to power Klipschorns.Kli... | |
| Parasound A21 and A21+: Significant Improvements in SQ? These are the changes made in detail, all bodes well for what your asking of the new A21+Improvements made over the older A21. • The power has been increased from 250W to 300W into 8 ohms, with comparable changes into smaller impedances.• Power s... | |
| Preamp and impedance question Zu Omen Def is actually 6 ohm nominal! No wonder I hear better sound with the 4 ohm tap! And if that’s nominal, you can bet you b****s, they dip down even further than that.! And even further again when you bring in the -phase angle into the equa... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 as a basic amp tubelvr Gryphon Diablo 300 as a basic amp Any Diablo owners out there who have tried this, say to use the power section with a tube preamp? The sound of Gryphon is very much like Class-A sound, big, lush and controlled. I couldn’t see the need o... | |
| Can I bi-amp my speakers with two different amps? boomerbillone Just to save you from blowing something up, be sure the amps are not connected to a common ground at the speaker end. Boomer make a good point that could happen to something else, if using linear amp/s for the mids/highs and Class-... | |
| Preamp and impedance question Mistake, get over it, and now the conspiracy theorist!. | |

| Preamp and impedance question gte357s OP @georgehifi Please excuse my limited knowledge, I don’t fully understand the phase angle and stuff. EPDR is the -phase angle (expressed in -degrees) combined with the low impedance measured, and represents a "far more severe loading" ... | |
| Preamp and impedance question I know the X5 use a 12” Eminence driver. I look up their web site, and found the model and curve below. It seems it dips down to 7 ohm This is definitely not what it will be when it’s in the speaker, as xover will come into it also, plus the -pha... | |
| Preamp and impedance question paying extra to get a 4 ohm tap will not have audible improvement over the 8 ohm tap, am I correct? Yes it will the bass will be tighter/controlled with the 4ohm than the 8ohm tap, if the speakers are 4-5ohmsGo the $500 extra you can't go backwa... | |
| Preamp and impedance question Spatial Audio X5 Na, nothing measured on these, but just by the looks of of them, I'd say a 4ohm tranie tap will be fine for these, btw the real Lux has 16-8-4ohm taps on it's transformer.Cheers George | |
| Preamp and impedance question gte357s Can I just add a volume pot to a power amp schematic? Of course you can, the Lux is 240kohm!! input impedance with 0.49v input sensitivity!!! so absolutely no need for any active preamp with even more gain here.Just get your tech to use a... | |
| Focal Aria 906 opinions? Currently have Elac b6 love the Elacs Try the better range Elac's that use the Jet tweeter, I think you'll be impressed.Cheers George |
