| Softone 300B SET AMPLIFIER or you’re just being funny? No, just ask Al from DEQX, after he heard it with the Goldmund’s, he bought the Softone off me that day for $1.5k We played a trick on him when he first walked in we hid the minuscule Softone behind the equipment rack,... | |
| Softone 300B SET AMPLIFIER I had the now deleted Soft tone 2A3 SE Triode amp to play around with, and believe it or not it sounded great at big levels driving these.http://www.whatsbestforum.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=30732&d=1485082531 Cheers George | |

| Why is the snake oil topic closed? Many of the controversial tweaks we are talking about here are quite technical, at least have technical aspects to them. Fuses, cables, tiny little bowls, Morphic Message Labels, clocks, You should be preaching this crud here, among your disciple... | |

| Amplification for Wilson Audio Sasha on the cheap It always tries to stay in Class-A without the heat penalty, unless you play Black Sabbath for the whole album at max level then it's going to get hot. But if you play quiet Chamber music, it's going to stay lukewarm. Cheers George | |
| Amplification for Wilson Audio Sasha on the cheap That one Krell FPB-300c is Class A? Sort of, without the big heat penalty. As it has what’s called sliding bias or plateau biasing (class-A), which in layman’s terms, means it monitors the input music signal and raises and lowers the class-A bias... | |

| Anyone With A Class 'D' Amp Play A 4 or 2 Ohm Speaker? When a good solid state amp with good current ability, drives a wild impedance curve, like many esl’s have, and speakers like Wilsons have, it will stay close to flat across the frequency range, giving least colouration.Where a many a tube amp and... | |
| Amplification for Wilson Audio Sasha on the cheap The ME sounds phenomenal but what I want to know which reasonably prices amps can sound better. There maybe amps that can sound better at a reasonable price, but they may not drive speakers such as these Sasha's in the bass like the ME can. But... |
