| B&W 804s + Atma-Sphere M60 MkIII.2 Swampwalker,Right now I'm running stereo subs, but's only because I have not come around to building the Y connectors to have them both sum-up L&R signals. This is the recommended approach per Earl Geddes, which I'm following with good results... | |
| B&W 804s + Atma-Sphere M60 MkIII.2 Michel,I think Atma amps are outstanding, from what I read. Zero feedback, OTL, fully balanced. BUT...your MX135 is not fully balanced, I believe, despite having XLR connectors. Make sure you tell Ralph about this.Buying a used 275 is certainly an... | |
| B&W 804s + Atma-Sphere M60 MkIII.2 Michel,Never heard the Atma-Sphere, nor know much about it. I can say, though, my 804S driven by my McIntosh MC275 sounds great. It's rated at 75W per channel, and some claim these versions deliver closer to 90W, but clearly not a lot of power. At... | |
| Which USB to S/PDIF converter with Metrum Octave? Never tried it, but my guess is it would work very well. | |
| Which USB to S/PDIF converter with Metrum Octave? I did buy an Audiophilleo 2 + PurePower and I´m super-happy. Best sound I ever had! A very audible improvement.There was no way for me to try them side by side, though. I ended up opting for the AP as there were so many good reviews of it, and som... | |
| wyred 4 sound DAC-2 DSD upgrade Check out computeraudiophile.com > DAC forum. There was at least one thread with big words for that upgrade. | |
| Speaker match for MC275 I have B&W 804S with my MC275. Very good match, but I often wonder if there is a better match for the 275. One thing I do know, though, is the N802 in your short list would need more power. Maybe 2 MC275 could drive them well, but only one wil... | |
| Summing up L & R line-level for dual subs indeed, Kal. However, let me point out your posts tend to be criptic and I oftentimes don't find them helpful, despite being right on (which, like in this case, I realize after someone else has gone through the trouble of explaining). This is why ... | |
| Summing up L & R line-level for dual subs Al,You are right, I did mistype.BTW, your last paragraph clarified what you meant: 2 Y connectors, each going from one pre out into both subs and letting the subs do the summing. I had not picked up on that! Thanks once again!!Horacio | |
| Summing up L & R line-level for dual subs Gbart,Thanks for the suggestion. I will look into those (especially if the Lamm outs are NOT buffered).Cheers | |
| Summing up L & R line-level for dual subs Al,Thanks so much for such a thoughtful post, and taking the time to do the research and the math. Truly appreciated! I'll have to digest it.I have posted a question to Lamm to check if the outputs are buffered. Assuming they aren't, then it seems... | |
| Summing up L & R line-level for dual subs Al,Thanks for the very thoughtful post. I'll do my best to answer:1) input impedance of the line level inputs of the subs: Rythmik 12" with A370PEQ amps. Impedance is not listed. Input is through coax, though. Should this be a key data point I wou... | |
| Summing up L & R line-level for dual subs Thanks for the inputs. I'll ask Lamm if the outputs are buffered or not. Good tip!Karl, you wrote "If your subs have L/R inputs, you should connect to them independently and let each sub do the summing". Yes, my subs have L & R inputs, but how... | |
| Anybody have an actively multi-amplified system? Disconnecting would do it, but getting the cables to the drivers is non-trivial. Maybe I'm missing something, but I envision removing at least the backplate where the speaker cables connect to, so to get those cables right to the drivers.On second... | |
| Anybody have an actively multi-amplified system? This has been on my radar for a long time, but for the time being have chosen to get my system to a higher level - I was indeed just starting. I exchanged with Rodman about 3 years ago on this. But technically it makes so much sense, I keep coming... |
