| b & w 804 s @marley119 you have to send the Amp companies an email and send the speaker maker an email then. Cos those amps shouldn't be choking | |
| Has anyone switched from Class AB/A to Class D? Was it better? Was it worse? Amplifier class is just that. A different topology and implementation. Doesn't correlate with sound quality at all and yes I use Class D. Remember Class is moniker for different topology. It is not a grading system | |
| Which would be preferable, an older Audio Research Corp. VT130 or a newer SS Rotel 1552? Uhm the speaker/room synergy and your content is what should get you involved. The amp is there mainly to just provide voltage and current for your speaker tranducers to move air. So I don't get this sentiment about moving you @bigdoghoss Mus... | |
| What do you listen to? Lastm is good with this metric I've spent 56% with new music and the other 44% with repeat music @rvpiano | |
| b & w 804 s According to their published dataset, the 804S have a minimum impedance of 3 Ohm. This means they're current hungry speakers. Maybe your amp is choking and limiting | |
| Hlep chosing a streamer/server for my DAC @diminishedchord get the Wiim Ultra and connect to your DAC's USB input. and use Tidal's connect feature or Qobuz's app built in Wiim's Home App. Wiim has the best UI/UX experience of all the streamers and fucks up the least software wise with con... | |
| Hlep chosing a streamer/server for my DAC YEs the 96kHz is a limitation of your MAC. you can still use your MAC? I assume you use Apple Music? @diminishedchord | |
| Speakers for leading edge, transients, speed and big sound No a JBL speaker isn't a Cerwin Vega tribute. JBL does everything with the backbone of research and development. That K2 S9900 is a great horn design as is with almost all JBL Horn designs. They're the best at Horn Loaded home speakers | |
| Tom Martin's Listening Room Why does this read like an ad? I'm all for room treatment and all that but let us not treat it like y'all have done to other aspects of audio. It is not magic ffs. It is a literal science with established rules and laws that cannot be flouted | |
| Anyone heard the new Mofi V10 Master Edition at Axpona? @avanti1960 I have the 888 with Class D amps and you're telling a whole bunch of crockpot. The Sourcepiint 888 has never sounded brash in any scenario regardless of the amp used. Hell, it is amp agnostic and it's not hear say, actual experienc... | |
| B&W 705 S3 with bad acoustics @renosteve AVOID THE KLIPSCH HERITAGE SERIES LIKE IT IS AIDS. And like I said your room is paramount. Anyone that tells you to get a badly executed Klipsch horn design is the reason this audio space if filled with BS Instead of directing y... | |
| Mid level listening @cdc yeah I decided to go straight to the end and not do too much merry go round tinkering. Glad I did that cos I now go to audio shows to just enjoy new gear without any itch to get any. | |
| Class d amplification The KEF has a sensitivity rating per speaker of 86.8 dB@2.83V/1m a minimum impedance modulus of 3.3 Ohms at 40Hz, 150Hz so they're gonna be current hungry speakers. so you need a high current amp that can get to sustained 80dB average SPL from y... | |
| B&W 705 S3 with bad acoustics Well, you need to solve the issue first before just buying things. Buying things other than what is necessary for room treatment isn't gonna help Get a measurement mic. This is excellent for that - miniDSP, UMIK-2 USB Reference Measurement Mic... | |
| Mid level listening @cdc for my dedicated and treated listening space: Speakers - Genelec 8361A x2 Streamer - Holo Audio Red (Tidal and Spotify Connect) Controller - Genelec 9320A SAM Reference Subwoofers - Genelec W371A x2 And for my general-purpose room ... |
