| Alternatives to Dunlavy speakers? 9rw: It is a two way street, what does Dunlavy's test specs prove?? For a dynamic speaker, they are good, tonal balanceis excellent, but tireguy is right, a little uninvolving, like most dynamic speakers. | |

| Amp for Eidolon again I forgot, I own two now; just purchased a second one for$1500 from Goodwin's an absolute steal!!!! Plus if you everhave problems with any Spectral product, they will service it of course for a price which i find very reasonable!!!! | |
| Amp for Eidolon again DMA200 is used; not new!!!!! 1986 to 1990 was production.The cost new was $5500 to $6000. They along with their original DMA100 were pure class A brutes; much better lowend than the DMA180; about the same as DMA150 or DMA360.Slightly more veiled t... | |
| Amp for Eidolon again The BEL amps are about as good as it gets!! Only theSpectral DMA360s are better!!!! Though I would try theSpectral DMA200 which I find is a steal of amp for lessthan $2000. Beats the CAM350 by a mile. | |

| Why do Maggies need a lot of power? Audiokinesis: you are correct about the line source vs point source. But then there is the tubewatt vs sswatt. I can drive my Spectral amps into a tizzy with the Accoustats and they have 225 watts and 380 watts, respectively into 4ohms. But my 100... | |
| Why do Maggies need a lot of power? Let me see...86db at 1 watt at 1 meter into 2.83volts at 8 ohms or 83 dB at 4ohms. What is the amp rating at 4 ohms???So a 200/400 watt 8/4 ohms would translate into 93dB SPL with 10 watts , 20watts for 96dB which is concert level sound (not rock!... | |
