| Pure Class A amps above 100 Watts? Not with the way those heatsinks are arranged, and they don’t say 300w Class-A. They say 300w into 8ohms which will be a/b with a few watts of Class-A bias.Again power consumption is rated at 300w, big difference to how much Class-A bias is on the... | |
| Pure Class A amps above 100 Watts? This was a sales marketing error!! The 125wpc is draw when at idle. So true as I explained above, MF have a habit of doing this, so do many others it needs to be shut down,claims of large amount of Class-A bias on A/B amps with heatsinks too sm... | |
| Caster Wheels vs. Spikes divertiti If you have a suspended floor "decouple" the speakers from it. Otherwise your floor will become a sound board for the speaker.Each ring takes 14kg (70 duro density), you could use three for each speaker, but for 4 you’ll need 3 packs. h... | |
| Pure Class A amps above 100 Watts? mikethehunterguy 125wpc Class A. 400wpc AB. Sorry Mike impossible, a 400w Class-A/B amp with 125w of Class-A bias would have to have heatsinking 10 x more of what they have on this. At a guess that heatsink with the rail volts needed for 400w a/b... | |
| Schiit Freya plus. Is this an upgrade? Will be interesting to see which mode you go after a few weeks of analysing and listening to all modes recluse. BTW Where are you on the volume position for normal loud listening.Cheers George | |
| 'Unlistenable' early digital recordings? Have a listen Daryl Hall & John Oates "Abandoned Luncheonette" Atlantic 7567-81537-2 German pressing, it will blow you away. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Abandoned-Luncheonette-Daryl-Hall-John-Oates-CD-1990-Atlantic/153505779358?epid=3098740&... | |
| My speakers are set. Magnepan Tympani IVs kythyn OP Here’s one of Audiogon’s members that just received his new/used Parasound A21 which would be very much in your starting budget if you can't afford the JC1's, and it will drive your Tympami’s full range, and still do justice to the bass.... | |
| My speakers are set. Magnepan Tympani IVs kythyn OP Georehii - thanks for all your help. I will know in the next couple days if I can stretch to a pair of the JC1s. Will hey work with my passive preamp or should I start looking for another preamp, and should it be tube or S.S.? Perfect, ... | |
| My speakers are set. Magnepan Tympani IVs Georgehifi, which class D would you suggest for the bass panels? The JC1s are about twice my budget for a pair. Are they enough to drive these speakers or would I still need a tube amp for the midrange/highs? A pair of the JC1's on high bias ... | |
| Spiking speakers not designed for spikes? Will it be simple to find the right threaded spikes for those? In Australia it was, as the local hardware shop had all different sizes, I just took a spike with me and he found the right size 8 of them and 8 lock nuts as well. and don’t forget the... | |
| My speakers are set. Magnepan Tympani IVs It partially prevents the front and back wave from meeting on each side and cancelling (the dipole effect) Correct, my friend panels were actually a new interior door blanks, bought from "Doors Plus"Cheers George | |
| My speakers are set. Magnepan Tympani IVs My friend got more bass another way by adding a dummy wood panel (called wings) same size to the side of the bass panel, this gets even more out of the bass.Cheers George | |
| My speakers are set. Magnepan Tympani IVs A great subwoofer to complement them If I remember them right they don’t need a sub, that bass panel with the right amp moves a lot of air and goes down low, I think they do close to 30hz flat.Cheers George | |
| Spiking speakers not designed for spikes? wooden bases that I’m nervous about removing or drilling into. Use "T" -nuts of the same thread as your spikes, and for good measure coat the outside of the "T" nut with liquid nails before you hammer them in, and you’ll be fine I’m sure.https://... | |
| My speakers are set. Magnepan Tympani IVs What CAN be done at that price is a cheap high-powered amp on the bass panels Yeah a class-D they’re good for that. and a better amp on the m/t (that Maggie ribbon tweeter reveals any grain or hardness in an amp). And high biased Class-A a/b amp... |
