| Amp / Pre-Amp for Sonus Faber Serafino This is what the OP wants (warm) and what is the right amp for his speakers to drive them to what they’re capable of, and sorry that doesn’t include Mac’s. I’m sure having this caliber of speaker $33K aud he doesn’t want them compromised with inad... | |
| Amp / Pre-Amp for Sonus Faber Serafino Are you saying that McIntosh is technically inept No you, obviously can’t read either.BTW you started the mud slinging | |
| Amp / Pre-Amp for Sonus Faber Serafino I wouldn’t pay too much attention to what George said regarding the output transformers.Back at ya sunshine, obviously technically inept. | |
| Amp / Pre-Amp for Sonus Faber Serafino ganeshgswamy OP Will McIntosh do a good job? It will make sounds, sorry I’m not a believer in degrading the performance and putting an output transformer on a perfectly good solid state amp. The only reason to me to do it, is if the amps solid s... | |
| Center placed equipment stands Glitz Queens ! Yep, the ones that stare endlessly at their shiny new chassis and blue led’s while "pretending to listen to music". Usually ones that buy their equipment on looks and high cost more than how it sounds. The cables I buy aren’t cheap... | |
| Amp / Pre-Amp for Sonus Faber Serafino ganeshgswamy Serafino bench measurments:Impedance phase angles at LF means that the Serafino’s minimum EPDR (equivalent peak dissipation resistance) is 1.9ohm at 272Hz, 0.2ohm higher than the Amati’s.Great speaker and rightly put in the same categ... | |
| Center placed equipment stands celtic66 Will I ever learn? Just cut down the height of my Quadraspire Reference X equipment stand placed between the floor standers and again experienced better imaging. Each time I do this it improves the imaging and overall sound. Hope this he... | |
| Integrated amp for Thiel 3.7's pgastone With this kind of load, especially around the low bass with the added -phase angle, to get the VERY BEST out of these magic speakers, if you have the funds and because they are 91db efficient you need an integrated like the Gryphon Diablo... | |
| Pass Labs or Devialet sandydennis11 OP I decided to buy both an added a pair of Tads CR-1’s. Easy as *** to drive these 88db Tads and mostly 4ohm. Just one grey area at 30-40hz where there is a combination of 4ohms and 48 degrees of -phase angle, which combined will ... | |
| new GAN amplifier The larger Bryston 4B SST2 puts out 300 at 8 ohms, 500 at 4 ohms, and the tech estimated 600-700 at 2 ohms. Definitely better, but unfortunately all this doesn’t correlate with the sound. Yes you are correct Viber, I myself never liked the Brysto... | |
| I listened to the Gryphon Diablo today , what an experience ! Great post for those looking to drive speakers that dip to 2ohms, I will put a link to your post up here in the: "What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load"Cheers George | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load Here is a great post by a member here with Sonus Fabers that dip to 2ohms in loading presented to the amp, and his experience with a few different amps and one that can double down wattage all the way to 2ohms the bjt output Gryphon.https://forum.... | |
| Pass Labs or Devialet Pass, no contest. 👍 | |
| new GAN amplifier The doubling of output from 8 to 4 ohms suggests a good power supply. Most Class-D can double from 8 to 4ohmsIt's when test bench measured independently, from 4ohms to 2ohms is where they usually *** themselves, many actually go backwards inste... | |
| Bi-amping Rules Vertical bi-amping with identical amps. 👍 Yes vertical bi-amping is the way if the amps are identical.Or horizontal bi-amp a good class-A or A/B or tube on the mids and highs and a class-d on the bass. Cheers George |
