| Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers George,Would it also be true than that an amp that can't make power into higher impedances is also a "tone control" of sorts?Respectfully,Lee | |
| Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers Atmasphere,Thank you very much for your response. So, if I understand correctly, for the most part an ESL will be as efficent (output approximately the same sound pressure level or volume) at a given amplifier output, say 1W, regardless of the imp... | |
| Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers Now is the reason this type of amp works is (assuming the speaker has a sensitivity (SPL) of 85db/1W into 8 ohms).25W into 32ohms = 85db.50W into 16ohms = 85db1W inot 8 ohms = 85db2W into 4 ohms = 85db4W into 2 ohms = 85dbso the SPL remains consta... | |
| Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers The quad has an impedance in excess of 32 ohms under 100HZ, with just under 2ohms impedance at about 10KHZ. Lee | |
| Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers This is all well beyond my understanding and wondering can someone comment on a question concerning the voltage vs power model? I believe I read two, perhaps more, points of view? Concerning an ESL such as the Quad "57" referenced earlier with a S... | |
| Pass First Watt models ... confused So, with an output impedance of 80ohms might the F1 be a match for the Quad ESL?ThanksLee | |
| Capacitor as Crossover for High Pass? Thank you Timlub. | |
| Capacitor as Crossover for High Pass? Understood.Thanks again! | |
| Capacitor as Crossover for High Pass? Next crossover Slopes?Could I get some thoughts on slopes to use on both active (for the low pass) and passive (for the high pass)?Is there a reason you wouldn't want to use 8th order slopes? Complexity, noise? It would seem that one would want to... | |
| Capacitor as Crossover for High Pass? Got it. I'll plan on rolling the lower frequencies off the monitors. If its OK, once I find the panels and start working through the process I'll send an update.Lee | |
| Capacitor as Crossover for High Pass? All of your points sound reasonable. What do you think of running the monitors "full range" and then just using the electronic crossover for the lower frequencies? I could always experiment with a capacitor as I go along here. I'll also take your ... | |
| Capacitor as Crossover for High Pass? Al,Thank you Al. It makes sense. Not sure why I've read comments that running the satellites through an electronic crossover has a detrimental effect, while it is OK on the woofers/subs? I guess it would be not having to use an additional cable an... | |
| Amp for Quad ESL 57 Great thread. I am currently looking to purchase a pair of ESL's (57). I have a pair of McIntosh MC30's and was wondering what everyone thought about using the 30's to drive the ESL's. I'm thinking the midrange magic of the 30's would be a great m... |
