| Why are low impedance speakers harder to drive than high impedance speakers I think the trend towards speakers with lower impedance corresponds to the trend for speakers to be smaller yet more full range to fit into people’s lifestyle. Also as we know from experience the best sounding gear is not always the ones that meas... | |
| Speaker choice advise requested... I think it would come down mostly to personal preference and budget. Form and fit of each is quite different. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? peter part of the value of the switches for me is I can place the speakers in a location that provides cleanest soundstage and imaging and then use teh controls to adjust the tonality without having to move them again. The same location rarely wor... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I have not looked at the innards of my Walsh F5 Series 3 speakers since they arrived. Cab came in separate box from driver (which connected via a single connector and mounts using 4 wing nuts that I do tighten on occasion) and separate box for the... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? peter if you have a way of posting some pictures I would love to see those. You could start a virtual system here just for this. | |
| Class D Technology I think Grannyring is right. Even the fairly modest Bel Canto c5i digital integrated amp is evidence of the excellence that can be achieved with newer digital technologies integrated and done well and that it need not cost a fortune. It is a true ... | |
| Who would buy a Boulder 3050 amplifier? Not me. | |
| Class D Technology Here is another argument for Class D. It can be argued that once you get the bass right the rest is not so hard to sort out. I have found a lot of truth to that in recent years. Efficient Class D amps are both on paper and in practice hands down b... | |
| Class D Technology Erik I’m just trying to frame up the comparison between the various amp technologies in purely technical terms as an extension of georgelofis argument against Class D based purely on switching frequency.I am of the mindset that understanding the t... | |
| Class D Technology Erik it seems reasonable to me to say Class A/B is technically inherently inferior to Class A for the reasons you cited. IS not good Class A always preferred over Class A/B for sound for the technical reasons you cited? Class A/B is used to keep c... | |
| Anyone replace the batteries in their AudioQuest DBS packs? I have not checked the batteries in DBS on my cv6 wires for a while. Guess I should. Things sound good and I've not paid much attention to DBS devices since acquiring. | |
| Class D Technology Can someone tell me what can be observed when measuring a class a/b amp that indicates its inferiority to pure class A?I am off the opinion that Class A is the bomb when possible. However class A amps to power less efficient speakers are large he... | |
| Class D Technology I do not have "ice modules" . i have stated repeatedly I have BelCanto Ref1000m amps. These use ice modules but also custom input and power circuitry and the price and sound reflects that accordingly.Again generalizing and glazing over facts and d... | |
| Class D Technology Don’t listen to the negative propaganda especially from just one or two who repeat the same thing over and over. Just try them for yourselves if interested and see. Myself, I’ve had way less trouble finding top notch sounding Class D amps than oth... | |
