| I jumped They had a used pair of the Emerald Physics with external crossover box at a used gear shop in Manheim Pa recently that were going for a steal price for the sound I heard and was tempted but yeah I am down with smaller and simpler these days, so I... | |
| Again the topic of weight of amps Like any amp, some people like certain Class D amps and some do not. Some do not like any though I would tend to doubt they have heard them all. Only way to find out is to identify candidates and try one like I did to test the waters. Nevertheless... | |
| Again the topic of weight of amps Yes, Class D amp technology enables amps to be much more efficient and much smaller. For high end, check out Bel Canto ref600m amps for example. Or even the Fosi amps on Amazon, which are most affordable and about the size of a pack of cigarettes. | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong ...which is probably just fine for most applications save the more challenging ones audiophiles tend to favor. | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong golf, NP.Can’t say for sure but what I was able to find about the Mivera amps referenced the Icepower site for specs, so likely its just that Icepower module in a nice box, which perhaps is just not up to the task of driving demanding "audiophile"... | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong All amps work better with higher-impedance loudspeakers.WHere they differ is how well they work into more difficult loads.The ref1000ms do fine with most speakers. None I have tried dip down to 2ohm that I know of, but then again I would tend to a... | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong Are you building your own amp using that module? If not what specific amp using that module are you talking about? Sorry if I missed that. | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong IS 1200as2 the IcePower module? What amps specifically are you referring to that use it?The overall design matters. For example a Bel Canto ref1000 (older ice module in a nice box) is not the same as a ref1000m which is same ice module + custom in... | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong Your experience is your experience as mine is mine and others are theirs. I’m saying yours is possible despite mine for many possible reasons. Please don’t say others aren’t because of yours, especially when there are specs and measurements in man... | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong Golfnutz you are drawing conclusions based on way insubstantial evidence.There are in fact many high current Icepower based Class D amps out there and have been for years. I own two: the BEL Canto ref1000m and the C5i. Look em’ up. I’ve used these... | |
| speaker/stand, couple or isolate? Isolate unless you like the way your floor sounds. If you notice any vibrations in your room, even just a little, if you jump up and down, your floor is capable of comtributing to the sound. If your floor is the concrete foundation at ground lev... | |
| The best speaker for a small room...at any price point. Kef ls 50 + a sub or two will be hard to better. | |
| The Physics of Electricity There are differences that can matter mainly shielding from noise, ability to establish a sound electrical contact on both ends and ability to deliver current when needed. None of this is rocket science and requires just a good quality power ... | |
| How I tamed digital glare. I hope not. That would be a victory for the dark side. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Austingonzo, you have come to the right place. $250 got you a lot of speaker for the $$$$. Best wishes. |
