| Separates or Integrated? What makes more sense? tyan42 Separates or Integrated? What makes more sense? Separates because these days, systems have heaps of gain, and may have too much, and you could be better off sonicly using a passive preamp. With an integrated you've got no options, unl... | |
| Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars When solid state-generated watts became cheap, speaker designers started to care less and less about the impedance of the models they were creating. Even Klipsch $20Kusd P-39f flagships at 75kg each, get harder to drive the further up the flags... | |

| Linear Power supplies for DACs...? Just go near any SMP with a portable AM radio tuned down low in the dial somewhere 5-8 hundred kilohertz where it’s quite turn up the volume make sure it’s not auto muting and see the noise it put out when you wave it around an SMP. And this is ra... | |
| Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars creditingkarma I am pretty sure only the relentless are powering the xvx.

| Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars erik_squires I took apart one speaker and saw circuits there deliberately designed to reduce the impedance. It made the speaker "discerning" of amplifiers. So it wasn’t a Conjugate impedance compensation load that you saw, that makes an amp sees ... | |
| Thinking about swapping out my Class D SDS-470C for a pair of Schiit Aegir on Magnepan LRS Just found this on the A23, they don't give out that award lightly. https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/2018-editors-choice-awards-power-amplifiers-under-1000/Also do your homework on bridging amps yes you get a big boost in wattage, but all... | |
