This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in.
The **partial** solution is to short out the speaker terminals of the unused speakers, so their drivers can't move. This really helps. This is correct Ralph, and does work to a degree, and only if the bass unit is not cap coupled.  But I was wa... 
MBL 111F or 101E ????
peppapig MBL looks like never fall below 4ohm Pepa, you need to look at the whole picture, ohms and -phase angle combined, which is call EPDR (equivalent peak dissipation resistance). EG: a Wilson Alexia, is specified as a 4ohm speaker, but ... 
MBL 111F or 101E ????
When you said both are very hard to drive, in relative 111F should be slightly easier??? Hah, nothing to to with the midrange melon.On the 111F it’s where the -phase (dotted line) meets the low impedance at 1khz and again more severe at 40hz agai...

My post criticizing Audiotroy for taking over and dominating threads for salesmanship here was removed. I don’t know why as there were no curse words nor were there insults. He would have reported your post. And he maybe a small paid advertiser h... 
New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions
That’s good, 2 x AD5791 per channel one for - and one for + they didn’t cut any corners with the balanced.But one thing I would have done, forget the balanced, and parallel the two dacs per channel and only have single ended outputs, the sound of ... 
MBL 111F or 101E ????
This is the load v -phase graph of the 101Ehttps://www.stereophile.com/images/412MBLfig1.jpgThis is the load v -phase graph of the 111F even though it says 101 on the graph which is a typo.https://www.stereophile.com/images/archivesart/497MBLFIG1.... 
New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions
From Schiit: Instead, they rely on precision, multibit ladder DACs, like the Analog Devices AD5791. This allows them the bit-perfect precision they need for critical applications, rather than the guesswork of a delta-sigma. We chose this same crit... 
New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions
George my friend theta is with balance output as well, that Theta DAC is way ahead of its time...now the yagdrassil for less money, how can Gdhal go wrong in choosing it.. Having the balanced one won't give a better sound than the single ended ... 
Is powerfull Amps only for low sensitivity speakes?
obatu Is powerfull Amps only for low sensitivity speakers? Obatu, don't just get caught up in the amount of wattage needed for the sensitivity. Yes this is important, but only half of the question/answer. As you have impedance also to deal wit...

That Theta is the only dac that image and does 3D out of this world That's because it also used R2R Multibit dacs depending on version 2 or 4 x PCM63P-K,  I believe the 4 were used for true balanced output.Cheres George

George hifi, that is nonsense Really!! Then you are doing a disservice to the sound of any speaker demo, with all those other unused ones in in same room.Cheers George  
This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in.
One of our sound rooms has 54 components in it. How can anyone make a serious judgement about the sound when there are more than one pair of speakers in the room? as all the other unused speaker cones are happily bouncing back and forward in sy... 
Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
Each to his own, as for what just I heard, no, there were 8 of us. We all thought the Bricasti was the sweeter and less in your face with poor quality pcm cd's. But with good to very good cd's the Total was more detailed had better bass, dynamics ... 
Issues with AudiogoN forum website, anyone?
Yeah getting this a lot. almost seems my computer is too fast (100mb's per sec) for the site to load." We're sorry, but something went wrong.Stuff happens. We're sorry you had to see this. Feel free to contact us if you keep seeing this problem ... 
Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
You can think of the Delta-Sigma as an engine that creates the R2R function repetitively Delta Sigma creates a "facsimile" of Redbook PCM it can never be as bit perfect as properly implemented R2R Multibit.And isn’t that what this thread is all a...
