| B&W 804s + Atma-Sphere M60 MkIII.2 Swampwalker,I wasn't aware the Supremas had passive subs. There is still an argument for adding independent subs: a) the more bass sources in the room, the flatter the bass response (again, per Earl Geddes); b) the optimal bass drive placement is ... | |
| B&W 804s + Atma-Sphere M60 MkIII.2 Michel,Indeed, I have always heard very good things about customer service from Atmasphere. That is great. Seems is up to you which amp to go with. BTW, I've been very well behaved in not steering you towards the MC275 as I'm quite intrigued about... | |
| 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... |
