| Sweetest SET Amp below $5k Thanks Audiomax. The problem is that the room isn't fully enclosed; it leads into other rooms all over the house as well as the upper floor (no ceiling). I tried the Quintas in the room without the subs and didn't like what I heard. The mid bass s... | |
| Changing to Quieter Fans in Behringer Amps? Maybe the fan can be left connected but reduced in speed using a resistor or some form of rheostat? I think that even a small difference in fan speed can be a large difference in noise. | |
| Sweetest SET Amp below $5k Thanks Alan and Bbro. I'll take a look at the units mentioned.Any others worth considering? | |
| Sweetest SET Amp below $5k Thanks for the response Jon. I think the Cary at 15w may be a little underpowered. I've never heard of Deju Vu Audio; their web site doesn't mention any models of their own brand, only other brands they sell such as Audio Note and Bel Canto. | |
| Speaker Effeciency and Bass Production Thanks Racamuti. I believe the crossovers in the main speakers (Opera Quinta) are relatively simple, and I am doing the crossover between the subs and main speakers in the digital domain (using a Tact 2.2XP). I listen to a range of music, but sing... | |
| Speaker Effeciency and Bass Production Onhwy, I don't know specifically yet which amps I'm considering, but thinking about some type of SET or OTL amp. Both can be attained with fairly high amounts of power, but I don't want the complexity or power consumption of anything above say 50 ... | |
| Speaker Effeciency and Bass Production Onhwy, thanks for the link to the chart. According to that chart, I would need approximately 30W or so at peak levels; although isn't calculating efficiency a little more complicated as Bob_reynolds suggests above? | |
| Speaker Effeciency and Bass Production Thanks much for the responses! It is interesting to note that so far I have used 3 different sets of tube amps so far on this setup with no as yet noticeable problems (although I've yet to push it VERY hard):AES Sixpac: 50W push-pull triodeASL Wav... | |
| Tube Amp Technical Question Yeah, thanks. I have spoken to him before; he is quite helpful once I got a hold of him which wasn't that easy. | |
| Tube Amp Technical Question Thanks for the thought; the amp is auto biasing. | |
| EQ before Preamp? Joeylawn,Where you place the Behringer should in some way depend on what your source components are. If all your source components are digital (using digital outputs), then you can place the Behringer before the preamp, and if you have an external... | |
| Reccomendations for 802D's? I'd go for the Dogfish Head Worldwide Stout; after one of those, even your clock radio will sound great! | |
| Which speakers will fill 5,000 cubic ft coherently Could it be that your speakers are big enough, but the real problem is dynamic compression if they are forced to produce full range music they they can't in order to fill the room? Even many larger full-range speakers have a single midrange and hi... | |
| Anyone heard the Opera Quinta? I've only had the Quintas a few days now, and so far really like what I'm hearing. One of my Sixpac amps started malfunctioning, so I connected my Wright Mono 10 amps which are 10W 2A3 based tube amps and I was very pleasantly surprised! I didn't ... | |
| Anyone heard the Opera Quinta? I'll be using the Quintas with 50w tube amps (AES Sixpacs) in a fairly large space augmented with a pair of subwoofers. I wouldn't have considered the Quintas for this environment without the subs as I don't think they would be able to fill the sp... |
