| Infinity Kappa 9, manual request. Or, better yet, use a crossover designed 25 years later with better tools. That's true, however, I afraid not many kappa 9 owner want to abandon the original crossover altogether especially the adjustability. | |
| Infinity Kappa 9, manual request. They were notorious amp destroyers due to 1 ohm impedance that was not needed. http://www.infinity-classics.de/technik/manuals/Kappa_9_technical_sheet.pdf The low frequency crossover is the offender (L12 15mH), use a good subwoofer amp drive t... | |

| Looking for a good speaker for my metal shop. A pair of wireless noise cancelling earbuds worked nicely for me. https://www.cnet.com/news/best-noise-canceling-true-wireless-earbuds-for-2020/ | |
| Voltage question Just to give you all some idea how absurd it is to think a few volts matters, I once ran a lithotripsy machine designed for 240 on 120. For you mathlexic types that's like half the voltage. That's a complex and highly computerized machine that... | |
| Wiring question : amp-sub-speakers What is a bass blocker and what does it do to my speaker? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_amOnIh1So | |
| Adding a preamp to HT setup Could you mean the switch on the amps input? Yes, do not let HT passthrough limiting your preamp choice, a simple line level A/B selector on the power amp input can get the job done. HT AVR pre-out -------&g... | |
| Need suggestions for bookshelf speakers to pair with an Arcam A70 Happy wife, happy life : ) | |
| Recommend a power amp to pair with Yamaha A-S1100 At this point - after spending serious $ on speakers and the integrated amp - I’m hoping for a decent yet significantly more budget friendly power amp. New or used. I’m talking $500-$2000 (hard stop). The power amp can be upgraded in a couple... | |
| Recommend a power amp to pair with Yamaha A-S1100 The power amp would need to be "gain matched" to the gain of the S1100, unless you would be using an active adjustable crossover. That’s true, or you can use the Yamaha as a pre-amp only and look for an power-amp powerful enough to drive your spea... | |
| Hybrid tube / SS system The Yamaha units seem rather bland and flat with their "Natural Sound". Or am I crazy? Or, are the Cerwin Vega D-8's an issue? Your CV are great speakers for parties, if you looking for more warmth and refined sound, my suggestion is upgr... | |
| What is the voltage To bias a marantz 8b? The one caution I would cite for the OP, if he purchases that device, is that if the tubes are removed shortly after the amp is powered down he should be sure that his fingers do not come into contact with the pins of the tubes while they are ... | |
| Class D amplifiers have very little phase shift I'm not worry about the small inductor, but the capacitor parallel to the speaker. | |
| Class D amplifiers have very little phase shift I don't know, just based on this https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ni37SFEN2MQ/XlP4XBgOSjI/AAAAAAAAMzk/L8hslF5zwbIQoO_EyctCbn5gWvDOwnyBQCLcB... | |
| Class D amplifiers have very little phase shift @erik_squires Would you please Xsim with a 1mH inductor in series to your speaker and also with a 10uF capacitor parallel to your speaker and show us the result? |
