| Monoblocks, passive bi-amped or passive tri-amped? Mano -- "I'm assuming that Mirage built them this way". That is unlikely: they would have supplied the crossovers separately had that been the case.In my passive days, I invariably found that "single amping" with the (sonically) better amp invaria... | |
| Speaker power handling "...peaks around 95+db." I wouldn't recommend you go overboard with that classe on the Dyna's.Ok, "peaks" normally last for milliseconds & don't usually kill speakers, but about 100W is more that what many drivers can take for any amount of ti... | |
| Kharma v Focal v Avalon And the results so far are.....????? Any news? | |
| If I upgrade my speaker, do I need to ... I think you should live with yr amp as is for a while, then try out biamping using a cheap SS on the woofers. There's a Quad selling here for $600 for example.Your amp is a good performer for its price and "upgrading" it to better drive those spea... | |
| Class A watts vs Class A/B watts I, too, like the Accuphase--but forget it for the Gems, even with a sub. I used these and needed a 150W A/B mark-lev (to make them play music, not squeak). The amplifier Pani refers to is in a totally different league to either of your shortlisted... | |
| Which cost more: your system or your car? System of course. The car barely covers the replacement cost of the speakers. | |
| Exposure 2010S bi-amp to ATC 11 Speakers How would the power not be increased by bi-amping?The amount if energy (available current) would increase. But two amps, each outputting 75W, don't sum up to 150W. You simply have "MORE" of those 75W available... | |
| What are the weakest components in my system? would it sound much better with a better phono stage or cartridgeMethinks upgrading the H-K amp would do the trick better than changing phono, or cartridge... Just tweak yr TT if you haven't, lots of info around. | |
| Rotel 1091 500 watt monos ok for B&W 802ds? Shouldn't be any problem. I have driven the 800s to bursting with a 100W/ channel. | |
| Exposure 2010S bi-amp to ATC 11 Speakers By using two amps you are increasing the available energy (the current) which is a good thing.I have never tried the your Exposure -- but have tried two other stereo power amps to drive SPendor S100s years ago. Unsurprisingly the result was better... | |
| Lyra Titan i and Olympos SL Syntax, with all due respect, "the more expensive or rare a unit is, the more it is hyped" can't argue with that one! "Some of the real expensive ones are indeed nothing special, more or less good for the Ego of the owner only." I know you said *s... | |
| The frontier between ''vintage'' and ''junk'' ? Once person's vintage may be another's junk, and vice-versaNot really, not in absolute terms. A vintage product i.e., one worthy of mention, is one that has something innovative or exceptional or rare, or...TTs with outstanding and copious enginee... | |
| Thanks to Audiogon and friends Welcome Auditory. We'll need some info before we stimulate your auditory senses any further... (sorry, weak pun!):* which Cambridge integrated?* how big's the room (for speaker choice)* do you need a cd player or do you already have a multi that w... | |
| EMM TSD1 DAC2 Software I have not (changed firmware), but wish to thank you for the info...:)! | |
| Is Speaker Termination Required? isn't this really about the sound or is it about what's easyIndeed, but if you short the amp, there's no sound at all!Better safe than sorry, is what people are saying...:)) |
