| SS Amps for C4 Signature II's OK, but there STILL has to be a passive X-over inside the speaker after you remove jumpers to allow vertical bi-amping as you can't, or don't want to, run full range into the mid/tweeter (assuming a three way speaker) and woofer. The set-up makes ... | |
| SS Amps for C4 Signature II's When you mention, "Bi-amp vertically" does that remove the X-over and use an external one? C4's, of course, don't allow bi-amping. The best speaker would have no power sucking passive cross-over at all. Run amps right to each driver with electroni... | |
| Oppo BDP-95 as a pure two channel audio source? The "SE" unit is pretty well received by those that have indeed used "audio" only units with botique names. I'd still be interested in an A to B shoot-out before I drew a conclusion. I'll surely do that before I upgrade, or it might be a downgrade... | |
| SS Amps for C4 Signature II's ..Sounds like you've answered your own question...Well, I wish that was true but I'm not that smart. So far this has been mental gymnastics, really. If this was all audio was it would be too easy.Yes, I have Dynaudio C4 Signature II's. And no, the... | |
| Oppo BDP-95 as a pure two channel audio source? I'm using an OPPO BDP-85SE version with DynAudio C4 Signature II's and it's darn good sounding for a grand. I'd say it is the single best "deal" I've bought as far as sound and price. I use it for music 90% of the time. I would be happy to buy ano... | |
| THIEL CS2.7 Oh ya, I can relate to that tube comment big time. I had a Doge 8 Clarity for trial and for the money it was a nice unit. It would be well matched to the Thiel CS2.7's. Some speakers are perfect for tubes. The sound stage was large and pleasing. A... | |
| THIEL CS2.7 This speaker is very dependent on the source material. Some was just too edgy for me. Then they would image and sound simply fantastic. The speaker and system didn't change, the music did. When they are getting a decent diet of source material, th... | |
| Why does better power = better sound? I mean the Vcc voltage supply rail regulation from the power supply. Audio components use a constant Vcc in many stages so it does indeed apply in small voltage transistor circuits. Not every stage is unregulated like a power amplifier (and even s... | |
| Why does better power = better sound? We all "want" something to change the sound, but what is important is what "needs" to happen in order to do so. The later is knowledge and the former is emotion. I don't like endless arguments. I like to argue forward. Yes, you can say something s... | |
| Watts up with that? Al,I'd like to see the weighted impact of energy distribution across the spectrum to conclude it's a "small" effect. I'm not saying you're wrong, but the laws of physics say the WEIGHTED effects in the frequency range of highest energy can be pret... | |
| Why does better power = better sound? ...Decent well set up system with decent gear should be able to let you hear differences between power cords, fuses, interconnects and speaker wire, and it should be as easy to hear these differences/improvements as it is to hear differences in on... | |
| Why does better power = better sound? ...Further proof that bad power can equal bad sound, and that even some components are the culprits, never mind your neighbour with the basement full of electrical motor powered wood working tools...It is? A power cord is a passive device and cann... | |
| Why do digital coax cables matter? ...http://www.stereophile.com/reference/1093jitter/...This is a pretty good description of what is going on. It is an older article but still relevant to many points. | |
| Watts up with that? Here are the "real" OSHA numbers for continuous noise, not random, like music, exposure. 85 dB levels with music is far from continuous and is more than fine. My "ear" says the Fletcher Munstrom (spelling) flattens out at about 80dB, where the low... | |
| Watts up with that? ... My understanding is that most speakers do not have as much as 10% efficiency. You cited a figure of 5%....How can an almost pure resistive load be 5%, or even 10% efficient? THAT does not make sense. By definition a resistor consumes the entir... |
