| How do I get a speaker with the bass slam of my el cheapo ear buds...? I'd try something like the Fiio A3 portable headphone amp to see if you like that presentation. It's only $60 so it's low risk and a reasonable match for what you're trying to do. You could use it in the house or the car. Amazon description:Sui... | |
| Where to hear ATC speakers Regarding ATC and phase response, I looked into this a little bit a few months ago and came away with the impression that they probably had perfect phase alignment between the drivers at the crossover point but that they probably weren’t in phase ... | |
| Where to hear ATC speakers You can still get your Thiels serviced by Coherent Source Services in KY. It's run by a long time Thiel employee. I've got Thiels and ATCs and you can't go wrong with either. I find I prefer the Thiels at lower volumes and for smaller scale, ac... | |
| merits of allocating $ to 2.o channel vs 5.1 I found a long list of LA area dealers. Not sure how current it is but there's no shortage of choices. If I were you I'd make sure to at least listen to the Vandersteen 2CE Sig II. http://www.laaudiofile.com/dealers.html | |
| Review ATC SCM 40 A floorstanders.....finally How do they sound at low volume? I'm curious if the new tweeter and/or different voicing have made the active domestic speakers sound better without needing to be turned up. I have a pair of 2012ish 110s that have the old tweeter. They're spect... | |
| Thiel Owners pair of 3.5s with the EQ in Chicago suburb $550.https://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/ele/d/skokie-thiel-cs35-coherent-source/6786015093.html | |
| Thiel Owners Certainly running demanding speakers can cause amps to run hotter and that may shorten the life of the amp. Just another reason to run two amps bridged mono or vertical biamp. You double the available power and you also double the heat sinking. If... | |
| Thiel Owners I've run bridged mono and vertical biamp and I've gotten the vague impression that I prefer bridged mono. I think the high gain contributes to dynamics. It seems livelier. I'm looking forward to reading how people here feel after trying both. | |
| Thiel Owners 3.7s in Des Plaines. Just minutes away. If only I had an excuse. | |
| Thiel Owners Does anyone know of an active, dsp, phase correct/coherent speaker? I haven't heard of one. From what I've seen the dsp speakers use extremely steep slopes to get near perfect frequency response and low distortion. People still don't like them.... | |
| Funny question, 170lb speaker and foam base, how to remove?. I'd get a bunch of couch cushions and lay the speakers down on them. Then slide the speaker out onto a blanket or tip the box back up with the speaker still inside and then slide the box off the top. I'm guessing you should have put the box side... | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker bridged will be as flat or flatter at every volume that unbridged is capable of. Obviously. Bridged can put out 100w into 8 ohms, 200 watts into 4 ohms and 400 watts into 2 ohms. There will come some volume that is much louder than unbridged is... | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker George, there is no current sag. More watts mean more current. You are overestimating the importance of doubling into 4 ohms. It's not important in this case. What is important is how much power is available and how an amplifier handles variou... | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker The maximum current that can be delivered into 8 ohms or any other load will double when the voltage doubles. I obviously wasn't talking about the 29 amp "Maximum Audio Output Current" as specified by the benchmark website. We were discussing cu... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. When an amp specifies a maximum current what exactly does that mean and how is it relevant? On another thread there's discussion of an amp that has max current of 29 amps and puts 100 watts into 8 ohms. Since 29 amps would be a whole lot more th... |
