| Should I buy a Class A Amp. The 300 series ML’s are high biased class A/B, B after the bias runs out, they are not pure Class A.Looking at the heatsinks I say about 20-30w Class A bias max, as Stereophile also said they weren’t too hot to touch, even after 1 hour pre-conditi... | |
| Should I buy a Class A Amp. inna2,069 posts07-19-2016 11:09amGeorge, thank you.Would you some people mind writing in normal English? Sorry inna, that was more for the techs here, who want to know why I’m in favour of well designed Class A ampsBTW: I noticed my link to the M... | |
| Should I buy a Class A Amp. inna2,067 posts07-19-2016 7:39amWhy would class A operation make an amp slower? Is it inherent in the design? I don’t understand these things.Another question is is the full class A amp a simpler design that just has to be executed well to make s... | |
| Which Amp will sound Great with my Eminent 8B Speakers? Your 8B’s are easy to drive, so there’s no need for anything muscular, go with amps that don’t mind 4ohm loads, as this is where the 8B’s need to be driven a little. And at only 83db you need a few watts, 150w> or more. As far as which amp tha... | |

| difussor's digsmithd Equipment racks in between the speakers are one sure way of killing image and depth, yes many glitz queens love to gaze at their lovely electronics while listening, but as I found it’s always better not to have anything between the sp... | |
| Help wanted: Bass! I just read that the ports also on the Kensingtons are side firing,, make sure they have room to do their thing, and again try the different output taps on the CJ 12's this is where the bass drive, control and bloom will be affected the most. Chee... | |
| Should I buy a Class A Amp. Is Class A the best design? Look at it this way: no preamplifier designer would ever build anything other than Class A. This statement says it all, if a preamp was a/b it wouldn’t sound very good, all decent preamps are class A.It’s the same for ... | |
| Help wanted: Bass! rbschauman Do get the knowledge to try to change the speaker output impedance taps yourself first, before spending any money. You have 4 different ones to try and you maybe surprised as the ported 10" Kensingtons have usable output down to 20hz (-... | |
| Should I buy a Class A Amp. Once you've lived with a "good" pure Class A solid state amp it's hard to go back even to a highly biased Class A a/b amp. The sound just seems to envelop you from speakers with an ease, without being drawn to them, that the sound is coming from e... | |
| Should I buy a Class A Amp. donplatt Hi, although I like Krells very much there were only two that were real Class A the other were either "high" biased into Class A or sliding (plataue) bias types. These two Krell that were real Class A were the ones that were fan forced... | |
| SS to valve Your Tannoys are are quite efficent at 92-93db, and with a benign 8ohm load, that’s why do don’t need a 250watt amp that can almost keep doubling it’s wattage all the way down to 2ohms. This is the type of amp that you would use on Wilson Alexias ... | |
| Help wanted: Bass! The Tannoy Kensington’s are easy to drive,, but their lowest impedance is in the bass. Have you tried different impedance taps on your CJ 12’s? As these can make big differences in bass performance.Stereophile test CJ12’s: The Twelve comes with th... | |
| hifi-zetta.com SCAM SCAM SCAM Thought I'd test this mob out and sent an email last week, (below) heard absolutely nothing back from them. If legit they would have jumped on this. Hi I’m interested in the Linn CD12 for 2,175eu , I am in Australia but I have a brother in B... | |
| SS to valve Although your Gamut is a great amp, it’s massive power ability is wasted on the Tannoy’s as they are very easy to drive.Gamut specs: Output power 8 ohm 1 x 250 wattOutput power 4 ohm 1 x 500 wattOutput power 2 ohm 1 x 900 watt You would probably ... |
