| Which basic amps can drive 1 ohm loads ? One last thing too, I have heard of and seen 4004 amps overheat due to their heatsink mass being substantially less(about 50% less) than the newer 8008/Palladium models. | |
| Aragon 4004 mk2 vs Adcom 555 mk2 Actaully yes you are correct. I think the 4004 has dual 900kVA transformers. THe 8008BB has dual 1.1kVA transformers. The Palladiums each have a 2000kVA transformer. | |
| Which basic amps can drive 1 ohm loads ? http://www.apogeespeakers.totalserve.co.uk/scintilla.htm Though the thread is a bit old, this is geared towards Muralman.Aragon Paaladium true specs(not their conservatively posted specs):8 ohms: 150 watts in class A operation, 500 watts in Class ... | |
| Aragon 4004 mk2 vs Adcom 555 mk2 Kool39: The Aragon 4004 uses a single toroidal with seperate windings. | |
| Narrowing down floorstander selection. I personally would go with the Vandersteen in that list too.The F30's are also an excellent choice. Though dont do it because they are "phase and time" correct. Phase and time correct speakers dont equal a better listening experience or better sou... | |
| Aragon 4004 mk2 vs Adcom 555 mk2 Aragon. Owner of a pair of modified Palladium 1K's. Ive been happy since day one. Adcom's best amplifer though the GFA5802 which I feel isnt too shabby of an amp for the price would be a good comparison again a 4004 I think. Both have a similiar u... | |
| Upgrade amp or add sub? Upgrade to a pair of subs. Speakers need to be placed out away from walls for best imaging. Adding a pair of subs will do a 100% double take with your ears. Subs actually add foundation and detail to the high midrange and even beyond at times and ... | |
| Which speaker is the master of IMAGING ???? Revel Salon's or Studio's hands down, Dunlavy SCV's arent too shabby either. Nothing can compete with a speaker with high quality drivers which operate in a wide dispersion pattern from narrowband configuration of steep crossover points. Just pick... | |
| B&W Nautilus 801s vs. Wilson Audio Sophia? WOw, I cant agree on the WIlson Sophia/N801's comparison here. Sophia's bass is nowhere near the same league as the 801's. THe 801's is just as fast with more detail and resolution while playing down to below 20hz flat. Sophias roll off around 35... | |
| Best new/demo/used value for $7.5K range If the speakers dont sound musical, look to your source,amps and other equipment. A truely transparant speaker will bring out the flaws in the rest of the equipment chain. As for Revel's needing big power amplifiers, completely untrue. I have hear... | |
| Top Ten Speakers of All Time? Revel Ultima Salon and Studio coupled to a pair of B15's or a pair of the upcoming Sub 30's = probably the best combo of all time. No weaknesses whatsoever from 15hz up to over 30khz. True audiophile speakers. Image's like electrostatics without t... | |
| XLR vs RCA Yep, XLR all the way. If your amps and source/preamp accept em, use em. | |
| OK folks, what the best pre for under 10,000? I also thought digital volumes had some question marks too. But the Wadia's volume control is probably the best preamp you could even own, especially if your only using digital sources. Its output uses both balanced outputs along with single ended... | |
| OK folks, what the best pre for under 10,000? To follow up with what Kenscollik stated on skipping the preamp altogether. I also have a Wadia 861se which basically bypasses the need for a preamp it does save alot of money, and deletes the need for an extra pair of cables which to me is an eve... | |
| Best amp for Sonus Faber Amati Homage? Are you aware that any Sonus Faber speaker is very touchy to room placement? A good starting point is to make sure their close together. I find that all Sonus speakers like to be closer together than what your probably used to doing. They should b... |
