| Can You Get 1,000 WPC Out Of Regular Wall Socket? I doubt power ratings for any switching amp is "sustained", but not sure exactly how to quantify it. Al could probably do it better or maybe agoner Kijanki if he is out there (both excellent EEs).I have heard mixed reviews with Class D amps on ver... | |
| Can You Get 1,000 WPC Out Of Regular Wall Socket? Mitch,I for one would be interested to hear how they fare compared to your big Pass amps with those speakers.Have you ever tried any other Class D amps with those?thanks. | |

| Help me pick some speakers I'd second Dynaudio.OHM Walsh would be hard to beat but with the caveat that bottom ports might not be the most neighbor friendly thing in an upper level apt.I listen to similar music readily and have been running OHM and Dynaudio happily now for ... | |
| Can You Get 1,000 WPC Out Of Regular Wall Socket?

Especially for lifelike volumes and dynamics with large, lower efficiency, full range speakers in larger room... | |

The only time they trip the breaker is if I power them both up at the same time. That does it every time! They have never tripped the breaker while playing, and I go pretty... | |
| Best High Efficiency Speakers for full bass tone I've heard the large Classic Audio Reproductions models that I belive are fairly Hi Eff and seem to do it all very well. Similar in size, cost and retro styling to the large Tannoys. | |
| Machina Dynamica MD makes me feel ronery. Why am I so F---- stupid? | |
| Recording quality by decade Nature of recordings then and now is similar to movies. Used to be simpler, more organic, and natural in many ways. The trend, with some exceptions, has been towards more complex. varied, and "processed". Think Cinemascope versus CGI. The good new... | |
