| Building new system starting with power amp. What would you choose ? I just built a new system a little over a year ago. I went with a mcintosh mc462 and am very happy with it. | |
| FTC may end amplifier rule! ACTION NEEDED Most people on this forum know what to look for. It is the less informed consumers that are duped by inflated specs. Many manufacturers now get their advertised wattage with 1 channel driven into 6 ohms. Then salesmen tell them they are getting 14... | |
| Dedicated power Spellchecker. Lol that was mofojo not motorola.. | |
| Dedicated power Wow. 30A line will only allow you to draw current past the 20A without damaging wires or blowing fuses or circuit breakers. If you are drawing less than 20A you won't hear the difference with all else being equal.so for Motorola your amp won't "st... | |
| Why so many angry audiophiles? No matter how much you spend. No matter how good the reviews. Whatever you have there will be someone to criticize it. When i close my eyes and just listen to my system and it puts a smile on my face. That is all that matters to me.. | |
| Speaker recommendation $10-20K (with some requirements!) Millercarbon won't say it but i will. The answer could be tekton design moab or ulfberht. Problem is only way to hear them is if you know someone who has them or find an electronics show where they have a booth. They do allow you to return them if... | |
| Sound quality impact - preamp vs power amp? Depends on what future plans are. If you put more into one than the other do you plan to upgrade the lesser soon. If this is going to be more long term setup i would say get an amp and pre-amp that match well. If you get one higher quality than th... | |
| Tekton Electron SE In response to glupson hypothetical. If there was a difference there other differences as in is he using the same equipment also the room could be very different so i don't think there is enough there to say one way or the other. The problem is pe... | |
| Tekton Electron SE People wonder why the hatred for tekton speakers. I have moabs. In my opinion people who say they have heard them and don't like them have either not really heard them or let their bias get in the way. Some of them i think are angry that they wast... | |
| More power for moderate listening levels? In my opinion the most overlooked spec when choosing an amp is the reserve amps or instantaneous amps. This is a power reserve that helps especially in the midrange and lower end. It will also improve dynamics and overall sound at all levels. This... | |
| Still confused about clipping after reading all the articles. Ok people make this more complicated than it needs to be. To make it more simple clipping is your amplifier trying to put out too much power. When you do this the distortion levels reach a point that can damage your speakers. You can damage 200 wa... | |
| Review: Fritz Heiler’s Carrera BE Bookshelf Speakers A very professional review for a self proclaimed amateur | |
| Margin on speaker sales by high end dealer All those added costs is how svs and tekton design can give you great products much cheaper by direct sales. | |
| Bose 901 Series 1 & 2 versus KEF 104/2's and 105/3's I first the 901's back in the 70's they were set up in a room at pacific stereo in berkely by a bose factory rep and they sounded great. I have heard others and still sounded pretty good but did not have the soundstage they had with the factory se... | |
| Solid states more accurate than tubes? Some experts say all ss amps sound the same i don't believe that. Some don't like the sound of mcintosh so amps I happen to like the sound of mine. but with all the discussion about ss vs tube it still comes down to personal preference. And as oth... |
