Class D Amplifier(s) for SWARM Subwoofer System
@atmasphere For continuity testing, you are just saying make sure that there is continuity for each of the three pin/socket pairs, correct?  If not, I have a broken cable.  I can test, but I would be surprised to have two broken cables (2 Dayton a... 
Class D Amplifier(s) for SWARM Subwoofer System
@audiokinesis Thanks for clearing that up about the Daytons!  I will get back when I set up the CR-1.   
Class D Amplifier(s) for SWARM Subwoofer System
@audiokinesis Hi Duke. I’ll reach out to you offline to discuss troubleshooting on the Daytons. I should have reached out earlier to you about this concern. I am running two balanced outputs from my VAC Signature 2se preamp, one to a pair of VAC P... 
Class D Amplifier(s) for SWARM Subwoofer System
@atmasphere HI Ralph.  I am puzzled too!  I agree that the volume matching SHOULD be a walk in the park.  I am also using Jensen transformers to convert the balanced output from my preamp to the SE input of the Dayton amps. It is the ISO-MAX PC-2X... 
Crown XLS 1502.... real life test.
Wondering how the XLS would work purely as a subwoofer amplifier???  
Class D Amplifier(s) for SWARM Subwoofer System
@atmasphere  Hi Ralph. Good to hear from you. I actually do have two of those Dayton amplifiers that Duke recommends. Each amplifier runs two subwoofers in series, so the effective impedance is 4 ohms. But the output is way too low to balance my 8... 
Class D Amplifier(s) for SWARM Subwoofer System
@bdgregory See the new information above.   So what is so special about these crown amplifiers for running subwoofers? I have only heard a crown integrated amplifier, and I was not impressed. But I am guessing this is a different class. What I ... 
Class D Amplifier(s) for SWARM Subwoofer System
I misrepresented the impedance of the subwoofers. They are each four ohms. So, running them in parallel would present a two ohm load. That will not work. Running them in series presents an eight ohm load.    
Amplifier for Khama Mini Exquisite
@steakster with the reviewer (Rick Becker, enjoy the music) mentioned WHICH Kharma speakers he was using! I just googled him and found his equipment list... he is using Kharma Ceramique 2.2 speakers.  Still worth trying the combo.....  
Amplifier for Khama Mini Exquisite
@steakster Cool. I’ll check it out. I actually have these amps.   
Amplifier for Khama Mini Exquisite
@shkong78   Exactly!  I have heard most people say that they detect no reduction in transparency. It’s hard for me to believe… But I guess I’ll find out. Those karma speakers are incredibly transparent! Thanks!  
New Generation Class D - AGD Audion Mkiii upgrade
BTW - I in no way think of the Audions as having tubes.  I would be fine if the “glass envelopes” were opaque. I don’t really like that they glow with LED’s.  But I am willing to overlook all of that further sound, and the convenience of the upgra... 
New Generation Class D - AGD Audion Mkiii upgrade
I had both the Audion II’s and the Atmasphere Class D’s at the same time and preferred the Audions. They are fast, neutral, delicate, well balanced and have a very black background.  I found the Atmas to have a bit of graininess in the upper mids.... 
Amplifier for Khama Mini Exquisite
I just purchased a JL Audio CR-1 active crossover and plan to try trying the XA-25 from 100hz up combined with my swarm subwoofer system.   
Fyne F703...anyone owns the ?
I am very impressed with the F703’s. They are quite lively and engaging with articulate base. A little bit forward in the upper mids, but not annoyingly so. I have not yet tried to tune them in, and I’m also planning on trying some Hijiri cables i...
