| Watts! How many do we need? My Speakers are Harbeth C7ES-XD at 86db sensitivity. They are rated at up to 150 watts. Their impedance is 6 ohms with the lowest at 5.8 ohms. So an easy drive. But I've been told they like power. The Accuphase P4600 is rated at 150 watts per chan... | |
| Well Recorded Classical Symphonic Recordings @audphile1 Yes I was focusing on the recorded sound. Rostropovich performances are always excellent. | |
| Watts! How many do we need? @westcoastaudiophile As a follow up I guess I’m mostly running in Class A since I have not been able push my meters pass 1 watt. | |
| Watts! How many do we need? @weatcoastaudiophile Still don’t understand how you calculated your number from those specs but you were on the money. Here’s the response from Accuphase. The actual amount of Class A bias for the P-4600 is not a fixed amount and will vary de... | |
| Well Recorded Classical Symphonic Recordings @audphile1 Familiar with Tutti. Have most of the Telarcs. The Shostakovich is a decent Live recording but like most live recordings lacks air, soundstage depth and scale. Try the Levi / Atlanta on Telarc for an expansive large scale experienc... | |
| Watts! How many do we need? Ok I’ll send them an email. They’re very responsive | |
| Watts! How many do we need? @westcoastaudiophile Yep that's what I was looking at. 6 transistors per channel. Now I would be happy if I was getting 10 watts per channel in Class A. Please direct to where this is noted. | |
| Watts! How many do we need? @westcoastaudiophile The specs on their site say 6 transistors per channel. Still don’t see how you com to this conclusion. They don’t mention any Class A wattage. | |
| Well Recorded Classical Symphonic Recordings @newbee I’m a big Copland fan and have the Telarc Kunzel recording of those works. It’s excellent. | |
| Watts! How many do we need? @westcoastaudiophile Where did you see that the P4600 is Class A up to 20W? | |
| Watts! How many do we need? @westcoastaudiophile That is my exact question. The meters never exceed 1 watt. Some here have said they are not accurate and don’t record peaks but I have them set to freeze at peaks. | |
| Well Recorded Classical Symphonic Recordings @newbee The Copland 3rd on Reference has been one of my references for years. Also try Robert Farnon’s works on Reference especially this Rhapsody for Violin I agree the Zimerman Ravel is a slightly better recording than Wangs but she is sp... | |
| Well Recorded Classical Symphonic Recordings @jonace Sorry didn’t know that. I was a big fan of Decca in Analog. Not so much in Digital. I’ll check out the Jurowski. | |
| Well Recorded Classical Symphonic Recordings @jomacr Forgot about Mahler While Solti was the best of the Analog era I just prefer any Telarc or Boulez on DG for recording quality especially dynamics and string refinement | |
| Well Recorded Classical Symphonic Recordings @jomace The Maazel Shostakovich 5 is a dynamic recording but suffers from early digital (1980) problems. Sharp highs. Try the Levi Atlanta Symphony 1990 on Telarc for a more refined recording with improved soundstage depth. But right now the best... |
