| Class D amps Thanks To Wolf_garcia and Kijanki! | |
| Emotiva amplifiers review/experience? Re: sound from heat sinks. I contacted Emotiva about this. The tech said they consider this normal operating behavior in the aluminum heats sinks. My old Bryston 2B never did this and my current power amp, a Hafler 9180, doesn't either. I guess it... | |
| Class D amps Unsound: I wasn't aware that Audigon requires the step you mentioned in your "response" before posting. Didn't see it in the rules. I appreciate the intelligence and helpfulness of other responders. Those seem to embody the spirit of Audiogon. | |
| Class D amps Thanks to those who responded to my query with decency. I guess the all kinds to participate here no matter their apparent lack of manners. | |
| Class D amps No, didn't come out of a "coma." I am new to audigon. I have only seen brief mention of Class D amps but never did any lengthy research. | |
| Personal amp evolution Marantz receiver mid '70's, Bryston 2B a short time later and Hafler 9180 ever since 1995. I regret ever letting go of the Marantz. At that time in audio history Marantz owned a lot of the market in it's niche. The Bryston had too little low end a... | |
| Designer Hall of Fame Yes include David Hafler in the Designer Hall of Fame. He was an early pioneer in his own right. Price points for his products were within the budgets of more people. David wanted quality at an affordable price. | |
| Emotiva amplifiers review/experience? Emotiva was forthcoming about their circuit design adding more detail per my inquiries. All seems very reasonable. If you want more detail about bipolar audio circuit behavior check this out: www.soundwesthost.com. Go to main article index and loo... | |
| Emotiva amplifiers review/experience? Ask current Emotiva owners what their preferences are in listening. Big bass, fat mid range, scintillating high's, what? Temper what you hear from current users with what they tell you about what they are enjoying from it then compare that to what... | |
| Emotiva amplifiers review/experience? Emotiva's response to my inquiry for more information about their XPA 2 was NO information. I am curious about Emotiva. I simply asked for some basic, non-proprietary information info about their circuit design and a few other specs. Goodness sake... | |
| Emotiva amplifiers review/experience? Something to consider: how often will you need/want big big watt/current output? Is it there for self-impression? "I know I have it." Will you ever use the amp's capacity? What is your typical listening level? What will drive your speakers best? I... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? I bought a Hafler 9180 new in 1995. 105W @ 8 ohms and 150W @ 4. I drive Thiel CS 2's. The Hafler IS musical thoughout the range from bass to hi's. Never had one problem with the unit. Sad that Hafler's are no longer made. Rockford Corp., the owner... | |
| Emotiva amplifiers review/experience? Emotiva might be worth a try. You do get a lot for the buck. Take your time, think it through, gather information. Read current owner/user reviews. Take reviews from "golden ear" types in "audiophile" magazines for what they are. My belief is thes... | |
| Bryston sound 'neutral' ???? I agree with Rcrerar's note. I coudn't have said it better. I once owned an older Bryston 2B. It's reproduction was as Rcrerar said but lacking in enough power for strong bass reproduction. I replaced it with a Hafler 9180 purchased in 1995. To my... | |
| How good is Emotiva 2 channel gear?? I was recently interested in learning more about the XPA 2 amp. I emailed the Emotiva techs wanting ALL the specs. I fully understand knwoing all the specs does not define the sound of an amp. Thier site does not list all the specs. I am still wai... |
