| Can you provide context on First Watt? Replying to the OP's original question, what I have read is that First Watt makes 100 of each and then provides the design to the DIY community. There are not many originals out there but many clones. They may have changed this 100 amp limit-not ... | |
| What speakers work with low wattage class A amps I have a First Watt F5 clone, dual mono, with a Pass Korg NuTube preamp with not much gain. With my Fritz Rev7SEs I have no problems getting enough volume. | |
| A DIY Swarm-based Distributed Bass Array for SOTA Bass Forgot to mention I plugged the ports on the two smaller subs and probably will try that with the larger JBL too. I currently have a small peak around 80 when I sweep the room, and it goes away with distance from this sub. I could apply some param... | |
| A DIY Swarm-based Distributed Bass Array for SOTA Bass Reporting back on my swarm experience. I recently got a DIY Pass B1 Korg NuTube preamp with dual outputs and a dual mono clone of the First Watt F5 to use with my main speakers. This has admittedly confounded my experience of the swarm, as have so... | |
| A DIY Swarm-based Distributed Bass Array for SOTA Bass Thanks clio09.Which 8" drivers did you use, and what did you do for cabinets? | |
| A DIY Swarm-based Distributed Bass Array for SOTA Bass Hello, and thanks for a very interesting thread. I've been following it for quite a while and contemplating doing something like this but haven't had the time or resources to pursue it. Can anybody comment on the viability of using mini DSP along ... | |
| Poor Fritz I don't know if that would be possible at the prices Fritz charges, Kenjit. As somebody broke down above, his margins are pretty tight. | |
| Poor Fritz I've had a pair of Fritz Rev 7 "SE's" for several years. They're just like the Rev 7 on the website but with a 4 ohm Scanspeak midbass driver that's the same model as the regular Rev-not sure if he made these again. I stream TIDAL through Roon or ... | |
| Speakers costing range of 2500-3500 per pair I vote for a pair of speakers hand crafted by Fritz Heiler. Why pay to support a large company's glitz and overhead when you could be using your purchasing power to get the same top of the line drivers used in the "big box" speakers, superior seri... | |
| How critical is Mosfet matching in power amp output stages? Thanks Teo, I appreciate your advice! I did a detailed comparison of the remaining amp board in the monoblock with the two stereo versions of the amp that I have on hand, checking resistor color codes, etc. while looking at the schematic. I'm goin... |
