| SS Amp for Triangle Speakers Try contacting Sam Tellig over at the Asylum. He's probably the foremost expert on Triangle speakers in the world ( outside of the manufacturer and distributor ). His recent column covers several different Triangle's and he'll be talking about the... | |
| Impedance of biwire-able speakers This would be bi-wiring not bi-amping and it might not be advantageous at all. To see if the wiring configuration of the receiver is in series or parallel, try hooking up the woofers to channel A and nothing to Channel B. Then select A+B and see i... | |
| Impedance of biwire-able speakers Duece1: What model receiver are you using? Is it a stereo receiver with multiple speaker jacks or is it a multi-channel surround sound receiver? Sean> | |
| A somewhat unusual request for PrePro help My post was not meant to say that one can't enjoy music on an HT based system, only that it typically won't be quite as resolving. It is quite possible that some of the newer and / or more expensive products may work much better than my past exper... | |
| Shahinian Oblisk I agree with all of the above, including Newbee. That is, the "typical" installation will have the speakers connected to a tap that is equal to or lower than the nominal impedance of the speaker. That can vary though depending on how accurate the ... | |
| Impedance of biwire-able speakers You're losing me here. Bi-amping a pair of stereo speakers would mean using four channels of amplification i.e. one channel for the left woofer, one for the left tweeter, one for the right woofer, one for the right tweeter, etc... Is this what you... | |
| Single vs Multiple driver loudspeakers... There are some single driver systems that very nearly cover the entire 20 Hz - 20 KHz range with reasonable linearity. The drawback here is that they typically lack sensitivity and are SPL challenged. If one can provide them with suitable quantity... | |
| A somewhat unusual request for PrePro help Beemer hit it on the head. Keep what you have and enjoy it. You don't need a whole lot for movies for them to be enjoyable, even if you are a hardcore "videophile". So long as it has good intelligibility, reasonable dynamic contrasts and the capab... | |
| Impedance of biwire-able speakers Greg: To take that a step further, the nominal impedance of the speaker cable is also inserted in series with the speaker as part of the load. This is why some cables are more neutral in some systems than others. Running your .08 ohm output stage ... | |
| Why do mass marketed CD's sound so crappy? I received a few emails commenting on the "great accuracy" of many "studio" type monitors. While some of these monitors "may" measure well, they do so under very specific conditions. That is, they are like ANY other speaker. As such, their placeme... | |
| Voltage regulation for Joule amps "I will, of course, contact Judd at Joule tomorrow."Boy, i can already hear that conversation.... : )The bias on most tube circuits will change due to both dynamic and thermal variations. As such, it is best to set them to where they should normal... | |
| Voltage regulation for Joule amps I know that they commented about this in Stereophile during the review. I've seen these units many times since the review and i've always heard the "clicking" that they spoke of. I was also just looking at these units in a local dealer December 17... | |
| Impedance of biwire-able speakers It will vary with the individual speaker design. Given that most speakers vary impedance with frequency, it is quite possible to have two completely different loads presented to each amp. The one thing that will be consistent though is that the am... | |
| Voltage regulation for Joule amps Brian: Thanks for the clarification."Swampy": There's an easy way to get around this. It is called a regulated power supply and would work with ANY voltage that was above appr 95 volts or so. This approach may be more costly than a high current va... | |
| "The Law of Diminishing Returns"??? Cdc: It helps to have background in electronics when doing mods, otherwise one ends up spending time and money that they don't have to when working blindly. By working blindly, i'm talking about people simply pulling existing caps, diodes, etc... ... |
