| Bass leaves after amp warms up? Mcintech,Curious what your assessment of the MF amp into 4 ohms is based on? I think we have seen where the OPs PSB speakers present a challenging load even lower than 4 ohms at some points but nothing that indicates the MF amp is up to the task o... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? TObe,I am interested in any review or comparisons you can offer on teh new D-Sonic amps as well. They use newer Class D amp technology and reviews and user feedback on them is in early stages. Thanks. | |
| Everything about this is wrong... A unique design and apparent solid construction. Would expect some unique results. | |
| Why not horns? I like the looks of the new JBL Studio 530 monitors. Would like to hear them. | |
| Bass leaves after amp warms up? Comparison with an amp well suited for the speakers, at least on paper, would seem to be the one thing to try with biggest upside. At a minimum, OP finds out if prime suspect, the amps ability to drive the speakers, is in fact an issue. At best, o... | |
| Bass leaves after amp warms up? Does the dealer you bought from still sell the PSBs?Maybe go there, talk to the dealer, and listen to your speakers there off a few different amps if possible. Maybe even take yours in and see what happens there off various amps if possible. Maybe... | |
| Bass leaves after amp warms up? So with one speaker, it took twice as long to show the problem? I'd say that is consistent with the amp running too hot theory. That would assume the amp still got too hot inside but took a fair amount longer to do so due to approximately half the... | |
| Bass leaves after amp warms up? BTW, if you can prove via testing that cooling the amp helps the sound quality, that would add leverage for you with your dealer and MF to get them to perhaps offer a trade or other solution to help you get better results with the PSBs. Especially... | |
| Bass leaves after amp warms up? Can you take the cover off and test as Al suggested?If that helps, a good external + quiet cooling fan might help. Or if you have any fan that could be applied, just try that. ANything to help lower the internal temperature and see what happens. | |
| Amazing "tightening" of bass on cone speakers That's a good tweak that is often overlooked. Tight seal is paramount for bass. Usually once done once or twice after a period of time, I find you are good to go, but can't hurt to check periodically.Driver of my OHM 5 speakers attaches with wing ... | |
| Bass leaves after amp warms up? BTW testing with just one speaker in lieu of others to test with was a good call! Gotta remember that one. | |
| Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it? "True.... But somewhere in-between, commonsense should be part of the equation."True, but passion for anything, hot chicks, good sound, whatever, often impacts common sense.If Captain Kirk were an audiophile, he'd be exploring the frontiers of tha... | |
| Bass leaves after amp warms up? If the problem occurs in both speakers at same time when it occurs and does not with one, that would tend to indicate that amp/switch/control defect is less likely, but still possible. Definitely supports the amp is overworked due to load and gett... | |
| here is my delima............ KEnne,That was the gist of it. Just the condensed version. ANy specific questions, just ask. Good luck + keep us posted as things unfurl. | |
| Bass leaves after amp warms up? Have amps always had this issue? DId any work good initially at least for some time before the pattern started? ANy nasty sound accidents prior, like loud feedback due to improper connection, or anything else similarly abnormal? |
