| Which watts are the right watts in SS amps? However **some** designers in that situation may instead choose to publish ratings of 75 watts into 8 ohms and 150 watts into 4 ohms, which as George has pointed out may help sell amplifiers because it can lead potential customers to consider the... | |
| D'Agostino Progression monoblocks replacing my Theta Prometheus monoblocks I was curious whether the linear power supply in the Theta version "cured" the problem I had with the sound of the Hypex/Ncore Class D amp modules powered by their SMPS. Based on the comments, I guess not. I do not blame Theta or David Reich for ... | |
| Someone tried Quad ESL63 and Magnepan 1,7in the same system? Sorry but that would sound like a blender to me, I’m sure you’d get better sound from just one or the other with proper setup, my bet would be on the Quads if fully functioning. Unless your not telling us the whole story and your doing surround so... | |
| D'Agostino Progression monoblocks replacing my Theta Prometheus monoblocks After changing from the Theta Prometheus (which is a really great sounding amp) I have had a pair of ARC Ref 250 SE monoblocks, and Momentum monos for a back to back comparison. All three were with the same ARC Ref 10 preamp. Couldn’t get 3 more ... | |
| Which watts are the right watts in SS amps? It was a trick question in a way. The trick was knowing Ohm’s law. Really!! Regarding our amps, they were designed with intention to work with speakers that do not require feedback of the amp; In other words easy to drive speakers that are... | |
| Which watts are the right watts in SS amps? is the current going to be higher with a high current amp as opposed to one that has less current? Given the Magico’s impedance v phase graph, the amp with "ample current" will stay flatter in frequency response than the one that is "current chal... | |
| Hey georgehifi Looks like Agone doesn't have PM available. Just post your email here if you can't PM me.Cheers George | |
| Hey georgehifi I’ve got S300 II which is the same but for higher rails and more outputs.S500 circuit And bias procedures for all. and more stuff on both, it's a total of 15mB so wait for it. I’ll email them to you, if anyone else wants them can you pass them on.... | |
| Which watts are the right watts in SS amps? nutty The amp doesn’t double, as tested by Stereophile. That you believed it did, because of the ML literature. https://forum.audiogon.com/posts/1492322 Saying this the ML's are a fine amp and have enough current to drive probably everything, jus... | |
| Which watts are the right watts in SS amps? So the upshot is, if you have speakers that are a kind load to the amp, then the amp is not called for to deliver current, and will stay reasonably flat in frequency response. But if the speakers are a load that asks the amp to deliver current at ... | |
| Which watts are the right watts in SS amps? Because of this "voltage source" characteristic, the 300- series amplifiers double their power demands every time a loudspeaker impedance is cut by half. For example, the no. 336’s continuous rated output is 350 watts per channel at 8ohms; 700 wa... | |
| Which watts are the right watts in SS amps? Pass Labs is another that truly doubles down Many manufacturers understate in their literature the 8ohm wattage so the 4ohm and 2ohm wattage looks to be doubling. It's only on independent tests this shows up the 8ohm to be higher and the 4ohm ... | |
| Which watts are the right watts in SS amps? This is why the CJ tube amp worked on the speakers- it does not have a lot of so-called 'current' yet could do the job just fine. Just picking one I had on file from his list Al, the Magico S5, a tube amp "may" work and sound ok with this sort... | |
| D'Agostino Progression monoblocks replacing my Theta Prometheus monoblocks statman D'Agostino Progression monoblocks replacing my Theta Prometheus monoblocks Be interested in what you hear, as when you get them you'll be hearing great linear amps in the Progression monos, compared to what you were used to in the Th... | |
| Which watts are the right watts in SS amps? PS AUDIO 200C 200 to 8 ohms, 400 to 4 ohms, 800 to 2 ohms, I call BS on this, just advertising, there are always losses, independent non affiliated bench test would impress me if it did. As that’s like "perpetual motion" Show me one (any) Stereop... |
