SET 45 Amp Driving Dynamic Speakers
Hello Al.Thanks for the excellent and thoughtful reply. I've gone through it several times in the last couple of days.You made it very clear so I can work through the tradeoffs. Maybe running the amp up to 50% si not as offensive? Something to try... 
SET 45 Amp Driving Dynamic Speakers
Hello Ralph (Atmasphere).I've seen your comments before and I am keeping them in mind as I design/assemble my new system, a 4-way active. If using a 45 amp to only reproduce 350 to 2000Hz on a 100 dB/W driver in a 25m2 room and if average listenin... 
A/B comparison McIntosh MC275 MK IV vs. MC275 MK VI
I have not heard the mk VI, but have the mk IV and I've tried a couple of things.On my amp/system, fuses had a very marginal impact.Rolling 12ax and 12at tubes had a significant impact.Replacing stock kt88 for shuagang treasures had a very signifi... 
SET 45 Amp Driving Dynamic Speakers
Indeed, high efficiency and high impedance speakers are common factors when you read/hear someone is happy with a SET amp. Another factor is the SET should be driven "well below" its rated power, which is of course undefined how low is low enough.... 
Subwoofer hunt
FWIW, I own Rythmiks and believe they are very good. I used to have REL Storm, and don't regret the change one bit. Rythmiks are very tight and I have them in a sealed cabinet, plus their servo seems to work really well. They also are very flexibl... 
Is Anyone Using Dirac Live Or Other Room Correction?
I use Acourate. Been using it for 2 years. Initially I only used it for room correction. Eventually implemented active crossovers (within Acourate) between subwoofers and the 3-way speakers, then added a pair of monoblocks and added another active... 
Where do I start
Hello gotog. Sorry for the delayed answer.I suggest going in small steps. I did that, and being a non-pc-techie I'm happy I did. Plus computer audio opens the door to maybe unimagined options. You don't need much computing power to play music. But... 
USB audio problems
You can set latency for the audio device from the device driver. Try increasing latency and see if the noises persist. 
USB audio problems
I hear no pops, clicks or crackles in my system. Did you find out what causes it? Maybe latency settings are too low? 
Your experience as Yamamoto owner?
Thanks for the heads-up guys. It does look utilitarian indeed. 
Your experience as Yamamoto owner?
Thanks all for the input.I contacted Ocellia and they are being responsive, which is great.Jrinkerptdnet and Gsm18439 owned an A-08S but decided they neeeded more power. I realize power is THE challenge for the 45 tube, which is likely most notice... 
Amp for stereo subs
The Crowns sound like an interesting option, especially at the price.Good plate amps could be had from Hypex in The Netherlands. They make the NCores, which would be overkill for this application as their strength is on how refined they are for a ... 
Your experience as Yamamoto owner?
Thanks guys.I'm intrigued by the lack of owners and threads about this brand. I was aware of Srajan's reviews and those also fueled my interest. The few things I came around sound appealing, but the fact they are so few are also making me pause.Ch... 
amp power & driver sensitivity in multiamp setup
Thank you Ralph.Let's assume for now the amp only has 8ohm taps (I've asked the manufacturer), and let's assume it's a stereo SET amp and one channel will be used to drive a 5 ohm tweeter (it measures 5 ohm flat across the usable bandwidth) and th... 
amp power & driver sensitivity in multiamp setup
When you say "if the amp has only one output and no taps", what are you referring to by taps? I initially I thought you meant speaker output connectors, but maybe not.PHL Audio is a French manufacturer, well regarded in EU.
