| Time to buy a class D amp? Whenever I turn on my Class D amp, my dog goes running out of the room... That's the residual switching noise coming out of your tweeters freaking your dog out, because the output filter can,t get rid of it totally without effecting the audio ba... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load I believe PS Audio Stellar M700 monoblocksare rated to be stable down to 2 ohms. Into the OP’s speakers this statement means nothing, unless they can back it up with, "this amp can also almost double it’s wattage for each halving of impedance dow... | |
| Advice on Krell amplifier Simply read the DC voltage present at your amplifier's output terminals under a NO SIGNAL condition. Inputs should be shorted and not open circuit, or hooked up to a source, even if no music is playing, you don't know if any dc is coming from ... | |
| The imperfect amp: Pass or Ayre? You don’t buy an amplifier or audio gear... to measure it.... you buy to listen to it. But you need to listen to it at home, "if" you understand the specs and bench tests, you can make a decision to take it home in the first place or not and not ... | |
| Schiit Aegir power amplifier low power Class-A linear amp Stereophile review the Stereophile article bumping the Aegir to "class A" got my attention and perhaps saved me 4 grand...I haven't pulled the trigger on an Aegir yet but I might soon as it just seems like a lot of fun for relatively small bucks. I love Schiit an... | |
| The imperfect amp: Pass or Ayre? Once again Eric, real class🤢 | |
| The imperfect amp: Pass or Ayre? Real class Eric🤢 | |
| Amp for focal 1038be? dlr944 Amp for focal 1038be? These speakers have a difficult load for an amp, they don’t need a lot of watts as they are 90db, 80w will do, but they do need an amp with decent b***s (current) into low impedances.The combination of nearly 50 degree... | |
| The imperfect amp: Pass or Ayre? golfnutz31 posts gdnrbob He just want to find out why people find Pass amps are so desirable.Really, then maybe I don't understand what the following means: erik_squires OP Whatever it is Pass fanatics rave about it grates on me.👌 That just... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load why not just start a new thread about the theoretical disadvantages of Class D? No sorry, I don’t start threads asking for others to post negatives for me, I prefer to debate and show tech proof, on the pro’s and con’s of anything I feel need to ... | |
| The imperfect amp: Pass or Ayre? I agree with others responding to this guy’s post- endless obvious trolling with an overt agenda to look for issues with Pass products- Just weird frankly. Stop with the nonsense about technical imperfections! Eric, why do you keep chasing bad ... | |
| Krell KSA 250 kgveteran OP That Krell is a good amp for a speaker that needs it, but if you study the efficiency, and impedance/-phase graph, you really don't need such a brute of an amplifier as the Krell that can almost double it's wattage for each halvi... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load I’ve already noted how easily the AS1200 can drive my Thiel 3.7 https://www.stereophile.com/images/archivesart/1208T37fig1.jpgYes they can drive them, but I’m 100% sure your not hearing the very best from them.As your the one who asked " Can a cl... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load gillatgh speakers in user are rated at 90db efficiency with nominal impedance of 8 ohms 3ohms minimum. Can a class D amplifier (let’s use 300w per channel)do justice and get the best or close to the best from the speakers? You ask to get close to... | |
| Help with Sonus Faber Extrema issue I agree with the crossover problem. There is a power resistor in series with the tweeter. If it is failing, the resistance rises with temperature and the signal voltage is converted to heat instead of music. It wouldn’t cause this explanation, ju... |
