| mo' better bass: any substitute for watts? Atmasphere ;So synergy is the only constant and wattage takes a backseat to circuit design for both amp and speaker . Is this a correct summation ?Up for some more questions ?Are global feedback , negative feedback , loop feedback , and zonal feed... | |
| mo' better bass: any substitute for watts? "The fact of the matter is no transistor amplifier sounds right on 4 ohms, nor does any tube amp. If you want to really see what either one is really capable of, you need a higher impedance -16 ohms is nice- to do that."Given this , why don't we s... | |
| mo' better bass: any substitute for watts? Atmaspere ;First off...I would like echo Bob's accolades and offer our thanks to you for your patience and diligence in this thread ! You are one of a very few gentlemen that would not only offer some input but also stick it out for a myriad of qu... | |
| mo' better bass: any substitute for watts? Atmaspere ;In your statement above..."If the speaker has a low impedance at low frequencies, you are going to have to provide the current that making power into that load demands by law (Ohm's Law- no pun intended)." Is this opposed to providing v... | |
| mo' better bass: any substitute for watts? Atmaspere ;One more answer , please , to Mapman's last response !Thank you . | |
| what's your thoughts on your next system project? I learned , the hard way , not to try to make an all-in- one system ! While it can be done...it winds up being much more exspensive and usually overkill on the H/T side ! I have found that movies just don't need that much quality in the audio comp... | |
| Confused and unsure about upgrading my speakers. "Anyway, I am happy with my system."What you are experiencing is called "Upgradeitis" .There is a cure...put on your favorite disc , take that fat wallet out and hold it in your hand , sitback , close your eyes and listen .Done ? Did you enjoy it ... | |
| mo' better bass: any substitute for watts? Atmaspere ; Do these characteristics , "the amplifier ideally is low or zero loop feedback and class A" apply to all types of amplification ie. tubes , SS and digital ? What gives tubes the "punch and body" at lower volumes ? | |
| Does anyone out there NOT hear a difference in CD As mentioned above...system resolution is the key here .It can be wonderful and a PITA ! | |
| mo' better bass: any substitute for watts? "Bob_reynolds, we *do* have some control over that 'configuration' of voltage vs. current. It has to do with the output impedance of the amp."The rest of the story !Ya , that is the part that I was eluding to but missing in my feable attempt !Than... | |
| Speakers to match PrimaLuna Prologue 2 Enjoying Reference 3a De Capo i's . Roll your input tubes for a warmer sound with better bass and body without loosing the great highs .Good luck . | |
| mo' better bass: any substitute for watts? Let me try , I could be all wet here , it's been a very long time ! Volts X Amps = Watts , the basic electrical power formula if I remember correctly .Now you can get 100 watts with 20 volts and 5 amps - 20v X 5a = 100w , high voltage watts .And y... | |
| mo' better bass: any substitute for watts? I was not addressing the speaker characteristics . Neither was the original poster ! He was asking about watts .Of course the speaker will make a big difference in the final output . You can't get 20hz. out of a speaker designed to only put out 80... | |
| mo' better bass: any substitute for watts? Something quite basic , that has not been touched upon here , is the configuration of those added watts .Watts are a result of the amount of volts and amps going through a device . Amps are the driving force of the volts which do the work . It is ... | |
| What's most important synergy wise??? As above... what sounds good to one listener is just that ,a personal preference . I don't equate that with synergy .Synergy is about components that work well together . Whether one prefers the sound or not !You wouldn't put a 3 watt SET amp with... |
