Do active speakers have high THD amplifiers?
You cannot replace missing harmonic structure with a tone control.  
Do active speakers have high THD amplifiers?
Naaa sorry not with massive ML Neolith paneled Monolith ESL’s from lower mids to highs, it says what right and what’s not to my ear. And a good passive xover sounds far better than any active I’ve tried I wanted to try the fully discrete Nelson Pa... 
Do active speakers have high THD amplifiers?
Do active speakers have high THD amplifiers? Just to add to my first answer, it’s not that active xovers seem to my ear to add any distortion, but more that they "seem" to strip the "harmonic structure" from the music in the mids and highs and lea... 
Anyone hear the Class D Audio Mini GaN 5 amp yet?
If should be obvious that GaN does not guarantee better performance. No, but if the GaN semiconductors have been implemented right, it is the one to use todayAnd with this Class D Audio USA made one, it could be just a ready made board from GaN to... 
Do active speakers have high THD amplifiers?
All active xover’d sound impressive at first, but then quickly always sounds sterile and thin to me in the end from the upper bass to treble, low bass is fine. I believe it’s because of too much electronics and opamps in the active xover that the ... 
Best Integrated Amp (for me)
mdodgeknee OP Because they are quite hard to drive in the bass as Stereophile says, you need an amp with good current drive at 4ohms to get the very best out of them. A used Parasound Hint would do the job very nicely, and the early ones should b... 
Balanced Passive Pre Amp
tmac1700 For under $200This one looks to be very good build and circuit quality, relay based switched resistor, (better than potentiometers, even Alps) And it has a linear supply no rf from smp, and you may hear a little clicking only when turning... 
Ayre DX-7 CD / DVD - Need laser head replaced - anyone know who I can pay to help me?
Great, always good to get back those that helped, even if bad news.Cheers George 
Mirage M1 Speakers
He wants to isolate not couple, probably because he has a suspended floor. And you really need to isolate from suspended floors with big bass speakers like these, otherwise if coupled, the floor becomes a "sound board" also and muddies the bass.Ch... 
Anyone hear the Class D Audio Mini GaN 5 amp yet?

Mirage M1 Speakers
robert53 4 x squash balls could work, they’re heavy enough to almost squash them flat???Great speaker btw if everything is still working good, had many a good time with these, they want heaps of room behind and to the sides.Cheers George 
Anyone hear the Class D Audio Mini GaN 5 amp yet?
Anyone hear the Class D Audio Mini GaN 5 amp yet? 300w 4ohm GaN Technology for $699!!! gotta be bargain if it sounds as good or better than Purifi or Hypex NC500. What I like is that it’s that it’s 100kohm input impedance, rather than stupid low 2... 
Need to clean some cds
Need to clean some cds I have a bunch of superficial scratches. Polishing with very fine car polish (not wax) will get rid of them, don’t go around and around, go from center to edge.And then Armourall (original) has also done good things to make... 
100 watts enough?
These massive 25 watt only into 8ohm ML2 monoblocks will drive a pair of Wilson Alexia’s (hardest speaker known to drive in the bass 0.9ohm ) magnificently to a certain loudness because they can do big current.They almost double their wattage for ...
