| Thermal Distortion your loudspeaker most likely suffers from it. But do you care? It's a question of balancing speakers and amplifiers. If speakers are 86dB/2.83v/1m, then you better have at least 200wpc and preferably 400w good, clean undistorted power @ speaker minimum impedance. Professional studios may have 1000wpc drivin... | |
| Thermal Distortion your loudspeaker most likely suffers from it. But do you care? We're not debating merits, we're talking about thermal distortion. | |
| Thermal Distortion your loudspeaker most likely suffers from it. But do you care? 4Ω or 8Ω speakers are a myth. Just look at the impedance curves on Stereophile. Some go from 2 to 20 and beyond. SPL efficiency @ 1w or 2.83v is also highly suspect as few speakers are 8Ω @ 1kHz. | |
| Thermal Distortion your loudspeaker most likely suffers from it. But do you care? Link that works LS_Heat_Dissipation-Thermal_Compression It also affects the XO frequency. See ieLogical the fly... The argument for high efficiency is specious as they have light coils with thin wire, which heats faster with less current. And li... | |
| Connecting monoblock tube amps to single subwoofer. What we are talking about is two REL T5x’s. They do have a phase adjustment switch and adjustable xover settings. OOPs. The 0-180 switch is hidden in the logo. A 0-180 switch is the equivalent of moving the sub 14 feet @ 40Hz. The XO control i... | |
| Connecting monoblock tube amps to single subwoofer. I've been setting up subs in systems for decades. Today with room correction and tools like REW, setting up two subs is actually easier than one. My room is ±5dB from 20Hz. Show me a plot of your room and then we'll talk. Assuming the op means h... | |
| Connecting monoblock tube amps to single subwoofer. the addition of a second sub is exponentially harder to set up, with the blend and the correct positioning, than just one sub. Nope | |
| Connecting monoblock tube amps to single subwoofer. It's not about wavelength. It's about origin. I had single subs for HT and HiFi for about 15 years before I got duals. In both cases the subs were well integrated and time corrected with REW. There is no comparison. Dual ... | |
| Connecting monoblock tube amps to single subwoofer. I figured REL knows their products a lot better than I do. Possibly. Connecting a sub to the speakers is generally a bad idea. It's an archaic Band-Aid. Connecting to one speaker only ½ works for mono bass such as on LPs. Master tapes do not... | |
| Connecting monoblock tube amps to single subwoofer. High level connections are a bad idea. Any time there is a loop, there is a potential for problems. The main amplifiers could be oscillating above the audible range at a low level. Ideally, you should be rolling the low end out of the mains. Thi... | |

| Speakers for string Quartets No one mentioned time coherence. Quads got me interested in coherent speakers more than ½c ago. Vandersteens are pretty good. Maggies can be if set up properly. Spice TC-50 on stands with sub in a good room can transport you. Tri-amped, time cor... | |
| Let me end the Premp/Amplifier sound debate ... @phd I thought "a straight wire with gain" is unachievable currently but would be the most desirable scenario for ultimately the best possible sound. From the musician onward through the instrument, studio or venue, microphone, cables, pre-a... | |
| American Made Audio Products @richopp Nice graphs. What are they of? ... ANYTHING other than Maggies changes what you put into it. The graphs are the frequency response of several Magnepan models. The input is a flat line. The speaker response isn’t. Distortion is defi... | |
| American Made Audio Products @richopp Magneplaners are the only speakers that DO NOT distort What planet are you listenting on? MG3.6/R MGIIIA MG1.6/QR LRS I once owned Maggies and have friends that do, but none of us are deluded that they are anywhere... |
