| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! Harbeth recommends a Minimum of 45 watts for my C7es-XD and states that 100 watts really needed to bring out the characteristics of the speaker and a also that even more power would yield improvement especially if in a damped room with carpeting, ... | |
| Bryston 7B3 vs 4B3: Extra Cost Worthwhile? Yes those Coda 5.5s look very interesting. I thought the same about bridging two. | |
| Bryston 7B3 vs 4B3: Extra Cost Worthwhile? @piebaldpython Thanks for the info. Unfortunately your specs didn’t show. From what you stated I might expect my easy to drive 6 ohm Harbeths ( lowest impedes 5.2) to not cause significant temperature issues with the Pass. | |
| Bryston 7B3 vs 4B3: Extra Cost Worthwhile? Sorry to disagree. There is no amp that is absurd for my speakers or any speaker of high quality. There is no such thing as too much power. I believe the Pass 150, 250 and 350 are excellent amps. I will audition them. But was interested in how wa... | |
| Bryston 7B3 vs 4B3: Extra Cost Worthwhile? @piebaldpython How warm does the Pass 350.8 get? Don’t want something hot to the touch or warming the room.. | |
| Bryston 7B3 vs 4B3: Extra Cost Worthwhile? Thanks | |
| Bryston 7B3 vs 4B3: Extra Cost Worthwhile? @yyzsantabarbara That is another option as the AHB2 is my current amp. Some have said not to use a stereo amp in bridge mode as distortion increases. My impeadance is 6 so half of that probably not an issue for the Benchmark. what SQ advanta... | |
| Bryston 7B3 vs 4B3: Extra Cost Worthwhile? My speaker is not demanding. 6 Ohm Harbeth C7es-XD. But not concerned with playing loud. Looking for control and dynamics as I listen to mostly Classical. | |
| I am about to embark on my next upgrade journey I’ve owned many speakers over the years mostly British made as I prefer their sound characteristics. Recently purchased Harbeth C7es-XD pair. If you want something that sounds like real music with no hype then Harbeth is a wonderful brand with se... | |
| Handling Heavy Amps @ghdprentice Had a good laugh at your comment about moving speakers to dust the floor under them. | |
| Handling Heavy Amps I got out of vinyl in the late 90s. Then started ripping CDs to my MacBook a feed year later. I have half a terabyte of music on my MacBook at the moment. Now I’m getting a really nice streamer that will also support me adding up to 16 terabytes o... | |
| Brigid Monos or Mono Blocks? @overthemoon Thanks. Just found out the M400s no longer in production. So the 330A bridged is the only way to get higher power for under $10k and with units weighing under 40 lbs. | |
| Handling Heavy Amps Talked to my dealer and if I buy a heavy amp they can deliver and place on my rack. | |
| Handling Heavy Amps @bigboypete I’m sure my dealer can arrange a delivery and set up. Just concerned about latter issues when it needs to be moved. Would still like to be able to handle myself. | |
| Handling Heavy Amps Accuphase and Luxman are really nice but noway can I handle 97 lbs. in any case No dealers near me for either. |
