| Magnepan, Best midrange? If you go Magnepan step up to the 1.7. That is a really good loudspeaker when setup right. | |
| What about the other way around? "...Would the higher impedance speakers be more ''efficient'' on the 4 ohm posts?..."No."...How would the different impedance whether using different posts or different speaker loads affect the output for tube amps?..."A tube amp can change freque... | |
| Will accidental max volume damage a speaker? "...Am I correct that a balanced output (if it had it) would have been much worse?..."no. You were WFO. There is no such thing as WFO plus a bit more, you were maxed out. | |
| Looking for a New Amp to Try, Integrated? Power? Musical Fidelity M5si. Quite a bit better than what you are looking at. | |
| What about the other way around? "...I understand that an SS amp in general will double (or some percentage of doubling) in output when going from 8 to 4 ohms..."Generalizations can be a dangerous thing, it's best to go by the specs for your amp than to make generalizations. I th... | |
| Total System Gain Question I may be confused but if your pre-amp can put out 575mv, the amp will be at full rated power. I don't think it matters what the gain stages are. | |
| Distortion The worst amp I ever owned had .001 THD. | |
| I need help with an amp decision It's time to move to tubes....sorry to be contrary. | |
| Will accidental max volume damage a speaker? "...I guess the question would be how loud is a direct line level input compared to a normal condition of maxing out the volume dial..."That signal is the max voltage your preamp produces. WIDE FULL OPEN! | |
| New/Used Amp recommendations for about $3k-$4k? You will like the A21, best buy in my book. | |
| All NEW Klipsch Jubilee Horn Speakers !... Game Changer ?... "....So that would be (as best I know) the second version and the third would be the one pending with the vented horn..."Does that include the commercial version Jubilees? | |
| Used Martin Logans I don't know, it depends on what model but electrostatic panels can get dirty and start arcing. M-L panels can be washed but you still don't want a real old pair. $1500 I think will buy you a 20 year old speaker, I'd want something newer. | |
| Pairing B&W 804S with Power amp Why not start with a solid pre-amp and see where that takes you. | |
| All NEW Klipsch Jubilee Horn Speakers !... Game Changer ?... FYI: Coytee is THE expert and historian on the Jubilee loudspeaker other than a few Klipsch employees...maybe. I'm not sure how many designs there are of the Jubilee but if you count the different horns, drivers, and bass sections, I think there ... | |
| Amp keeps shutting off How are you measuring the amp's output? 30 watts continuous using a 100wpc amp is going to create a heavy thermal load. You'll want to have the amp looked at but you might just be driving the poor thing too hard? |
