| Amp for Martin Logan Motion 60XT chobes11 OP I’ve been doing a lot of research on the Hypex class D and they are supposed to be phenomenal. You need to understand how they behave into 2ohms, when you do they become far from phenomenal.Cheers George | |
| Rules of getting best audio ? maybe.. Rules of getting best audio ? Main one is compatibility between amp and speaker, spend time to understand Stereophile’s bench testing on both these, As these can bring you to compatibility faster than people here telling you this amps great or th... | |
| Amp Upgrade time, $6000 budget, used or new. Be wary of the Magtech with ML’s, they may be alright with Sanders own ESL’s they have a different impedance loading to the Martin Logan ESL. As this owner found, that had ML Summits, the fuses kept blowing on the Magtech, even with a different Ma... | |
| Amp Upgrade time, $6000 budget, used or new. No tubes for this kind of impedance curve, unless they have a 2ohm speaker tap, common complaint with tubes is there are no extended highs, this is the reason why, a downward sliding impedance to 1ohm from 3khz.Then there may not be enough wattage... | |
| If I just use a DAC, do I need a Pre-amp? Yes you can, but the impedances of the equipment might not match, causing anomalies There is no impedance match problem with today's solid state sources, but there "can" be with boutique "tube output sources".Cheers George | |

| Amp for Martin Logan Motion 60XT chobes11 Stay away from Class-D into 2ohms with these speakersDon’t listen to the watt junkies, you can’t make up current ability with watts, to drive hard to drive speakers with, if you could we’d all own these $429 Behringer 3000watt Class-D’s ... | |
| Amp for Martin Logan Motion 60XT chobes11 Amp for Martin Logan Motion 60XT They are 90db, so they don't!! need a lot of wattage, a 100-150watts at into 8ohm will do.But they do have an amp taxing (for current) 2ohm dip around 200hz-400hz in the upper bass, they also have a ... | |
| Need some Tube and Class A SS Suggestions See how the Prima Luna’s output transformer has less instability ringing (peaking) from 10khz up when it is loaded down more and more.(green trace) Prima Luna https://www.stereophile.com/images/1214PLDPIfig01.jpg But the D7’s impedance goes high... | |
| YBA Signature Amplifier If it’s like this, I have a very nice sounding YBA dac that is "audio jewelry" in build quality, not quite up there in sound quality with my MSB discrete R2R, but very easy to listen to even with bad recordings. And it has preamp and headphone amp... | |

| MSB Diamond DAC V Jetter What’s with you?? anti MSB, because that’s what it looks like. READ!!! He (the OP) said "I am going to look for either a Lampi Pacific or a MSB Diamond Dac V with all the goodies on the secondary market." I’m showing him a good one on Aud... | |
| If I just use a DAC, do I need a Pre-amp? And JA concludes withThe XP-30 has rekindled for me the concept that the beating heart of an audio system is the preamplifier. Yes Nelson Pass is in business to make money, even from his preamps, if people want them.Yet Nelson Pass also quotes th... | |
