| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load Ok 550 watts not oscillating, won’t drive a speaker correctly? Correct, just like this $429 3000W class-D will sound s**t when compared to an amp like a Gryphon 120 or300, JC Halo, etc etc👍 https://djcity.com.au/product/behringer-nx3000-power-am... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load Retailer? I personally own the Apogee 1 Ohm Scintillas and class D does wonder on these speakers. Hope that helps 🤦♂️ I have witnessed class D driving Thiel CS5 And It has no problem of driving the Thiel at all and sounds fantastic. My fr... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load Too many manufacturers here bend the truth and "con the readers" in their advertising into believing, that if they say their amps are "stable" into 2ohms, they can drive 2ohms loads easily, this is a "con" and needs to stop. Like I said so many ti... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load It didn’t sound like like shi? There’s all degrees of s**t Mac says 2 ohm stable, it means STABLE So is a Nad 3020 integrated 2ohm stable, just means it won’t oscillate. Doesn’t mean it can drive that load to it’s fullest without breaking a swea... | |
| Anyone try the new Synergistic Research Orange UEF Duplex? The Orange Duplex starts with a new floating ground Highly dangerous and illegal if in Australia.Can a US Electrical Engineer comment on the laws in the USA?Cheers George | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load Mcintosh MC275s in par or ser mode were "2 ohm stable" I've said it before, there is a massive difference in sound driving a speaker that's <2ohms correctly, and saying an amp is just "2ohm stable" and another that can drive down to 2ohms by ... | |
| Thoughts on Tube vs SS amplification for Sony SS AR1s Hey GeorgeThanks for the thoughts - even the mono block ma9s2 you think would be a poor fit? No one has done bench tests on these, They "may" be ok, but they only have 6 outputs per channel, and they only spec them 8ohm to 4ohm wattage’s, no ment... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Yes most techs will not repair Class-D down to component level, too time consuming and difficult to trace faults with these surface mount, multi-layer boards class-D amps have in them. Because everything is is so tightly packed, so they can squeez... | |
| Thoughts on Tube vs SS amplification for Sony SS AR1s How in the world does the low watt tube Luxman produce wonderful sound paired with this very difficult speaker load? It may sound good to him, I guarantee he has "not" yet heard these speakers at their best though.If it sounds good to him, then w... | |
| small footprint Class A mono blocks and pre amplifier galacticmayan @georgehifi Regarding biamping with the Aegir on the high/mids and the Vidar on the lows, I dig the idea, but this confuses me a bit because these 2 amps have different wattage ratings/output. Mids and highs take far less than bass... | |
| Thoughts on Tube vs SS amplification for Sony SS AR1s When Sony wants to make a state of the art product- it delivers! Yeah you got right, here’s their 3 way ESL’s they made way back 110kg each, I heard the Emperor of Japan had a pair. http://www.thevintageknob.org/sony-SS-R10.html Cheers George | |
| Thoughts on Tube vs SS amplification for Sony SS AR1s sfmorris OP The combination of 3ohms and -60 degree phase angle at around 70hz (right in the bass power region), makes it look more like 1-2ohm loading to an amp. Then a continual load from there of 2.7ohms out to 500hz. Very tube, and many weaker... | |
| An old Forte' model 3 made new Threshold T50. Do you have an idea of what differences might be between that and the Forte' 1A? No, never came across a T50, had a Stasis 300 and 500 optical.Cheers George | |
| DAC 1-2K For a cheap $350usd discrete R2R dac, this "could" be good, a tech friend bought 5 of them and resold them here in Au to his customers, all new owners said it’s a no brainer for the money. https://drop.com/buy/massdrop-x-airist-audio-r-2r-dac h... | |
| Looking to upgrade floorstander speakers. routeman21 OP Since you've heard and lived with that Raal tweeter, there's no much that can come close to them in dynamic tweeters. Suggest you look for similar box speakers with good quality ribbon tweeters like the Raal, or go for an Elect... |
