| Talk but not walk? You did. Fair enough. Don't get your pant legs in an uproar! | |
| Talk but not walk? Kosst, He knows. Even the janitors at Nasa know! Don’t you realize GK just likes to say things to see if anyone is paying attention to him? Very attention starved! Must have had a tough childhood. Poor guy!My wife can detect the slightest draft. N... | |
| Newbie needs help on Audio Research and DynAudio Quality You could even try running the JBLs off the ARC amp. The 8 ohm JBLs are inherently more tube amp friendly than the 4 ohm Dyns. Worth a try! You never know what you will find to sound best. In general amps tend to have higher distortion levels over... | |
| Talk but not walk? Thanks. Especially if that means you are done with your moopman obsession. It's getting a little creepy. | |
| Talk but not walk? This thread turned out to be a total dud. I did have high hopes. GK even your usual theoretical babblings of no real consequence and nice cut and pastes from Wikipedia relating to fluid dynamics couldn’t help it. Seems you are more the kiss of dea... | |
| Newbie needs help on Audio Research and DynAudio Quality The JBLs listed nominal impedance is 8 ohm. The Dynaudios 4 ohm. I do not see an output impedance spec for the Luxman amp but its a safe bet being a SS amp that it is low and not an issue that would prohibit its use with 4ohm nominal speakers. Thi... | |
| Newbie needs help on Audio Research and DynAudio Quality Almarg yes one can presume that is the case and most likely should be just not clearly identified in that spec as written. If if everything is properly connected and working properly including broken in as you alluded to earlier then it just may b... | |
| Talk but not walk? Unfortunately Mr Green apparently has chosen to not shed any light here on any of this. Too bad. The answers would appear to require a road trip to his very interesting web site. | |
| Talk but not walk? Wow very interesting. My next tweak might have to be a quantum windbreaker with hoody. Maybe graphene treated. Just shooting the breeze.... | |
| Newbie needs help on Audio Research and DynAudio Quality Hey Al the way the manual is written the 45 damping factor may only be when used with 16 ohm speakers. The amps input stage is semiconductor based, the output tube. Could this tube amp similarly produce a damping factor of 45 into a 4 ohm load? M... | |
| Newbie needs help on Audio Research and DynAudio Quality Yes the multiple outputs for various impedance levels does cover that. The speaker specs indicate bass range impedance down to 3.8 ohm. Not natural turf for a tube amp. The speaker specs are fairly detailed for a product manual but specs still lea... | |
| Newbie needs help on Audio Research and DynAudio Quality Almarg how would you reconcile the manual indicating same power into 4 8 and 16 ohm with doubling down power into the same? It is a hybrid design so that would bode well in terms of having low output impedance for a tube based amp. Those amps were... | |
| Talk but not walk? MG the thing is yes this thread that you started has turned out to be a big nothing burger. Your main goal appears to be as prof indicated launch vague criticisms and convince people your place is much better and get them to hang out and maybe spe... | |
| Newbie needs help on Audio Research and DynAudio Quality Is it safe to assume the ARC gear including all tubes are in good working order? I’d make sure. If so, those ARC amps still may not be a great match to drive Dynaudio speakers properly. Not surprised the SS Luxman sounds better. The manual online ... | |
| Talk but not walk? Unfortunately for all (except Elizabeth who done good), Elizabeth pretty much nailed it. |
