| Amplifier to pair with NHT 3.3 Well this is embarrassing but I recently got some new hi-end hearing aidsand decided to A-B compare XLS amps with my old B&K ST-202+ and although the XLS sounded very good the ST--202+ was a whole level better. I apologist to anyone I mi... | |
| Review: Crown International XLS1500 Amplifier Wrong on xls 1500 it needs only crown 1.4xrms to drive it to the max but some receivers only put out a volt so Crown addressed that and other issues with the new black Generation II The XLS 1502 is fully driven at less tan a volt if switched to do... | |
| B&K ST-140 vs 200.1 mono blocks I don't know but I had a B&K ST-202 which is the same design as the 140 just more powerful with another set of FETS. I upgraded to a Crown XLS 1500 class D drivecore amp and love it. The old B&K is an excellent amp so it depends on what yo... | |
| Amplifier to pair with NHT 3.3 I have found that the Crown XLS-1500 will do just as good a job as the XLS-2500 as it too has more than enough clean clear power for The NHT 3.3's at over 400 watts RMS a channel into the average 6 OHM load of these speakers. Since these excellent... | |
| Amplifier to pair with NHT 3.3 correction to my last. It's 103 Db A-weibhted s/n not 105. I have since gotten an XLS1500 to drive my VR-2 speakers in another room, sounds great. The Audio magazine world is full of suspect reviews because frankly the high end expensive equipment... | |
| Amplifier to pair with NHT 3.3 I just wanted to add some thoughts about using a professional music amplifier and in particular the Crown XLS Drivecore series. (XLS1500-XLS2500)1. An S/N ratio of 105db A-weighted, though very good, isn't for very High efficiency speakers (It wor... | |
| Ways to improve DAC performance??? I also use a Ross Martin dac, the Super Beast. I suspect at its level of sound quality that only flavor of sound is different than the best you can buy not the quality when driven well. Yes, mine does sound slightly better being driven through an ... | |
| Amplifier suggestions to drive a pair of NHT 3.3 Actually spinster after after looking up your Crown K1 ampsspecs I really think it should work better alone driving the your NHT's as it should be a better amp than the older Parasounds in almost all respects. Did you try it by itself? The S/N is ... | |
| Amplifier suggestions to drive a pair of NHT 3.3 No need to Bi-amp with the xls2500 440 watts per channel into 8 ohms and almost 800 into 4. I did bi-wire however. Yours is a good set up though as that Parasound has a good rep. I don't know anything about the K1 though but its a Crown. The XLS25... | |
| Amplifier suggestions to drive a pair of NHT 3.3 Just bought a Crown xls2500 because of good net reports on it and others in various blogs on their drivecore series. I used it to replace an excellent B&K 202+.Cost new under $600 from local Guitar Center with a free return policy. Less on Eba... | |

| NHT 3.3 , anybody modded this speaker? I tried the Seas H1189 tweeters for a week after my last post in order to give them a decent break in period. Although very good I found some voices and music too sharp for my ears still. I believe that the Seas Excel t25cf001 is actually quite su... | |
| NHT 3.3 , anybody modded this speaker? They are great all-rounders but the bass is magnificent. As for the rough highs I replaced the tweeters with superior Seas Excel t25cf001's and they made the top end softer and more life-like to my ears. Electronically they are pretty close to a d... | |
| Bewitch A-30 tube amp? _ Puresound A-30 tube amp? Sorry to respond so slowly but I still have The Bewitch and it is still excellent. I use it to drive my Taddeo Monitor 1's Even at 60 watts a channel it has some trouble with an 87db speaker getting very loud, especially the woofers, unless you bi... | |
| Amplifier suggestions to drive a pair of NHT 3.3 I use a B&K ST-202+ (300watts at 4 ohms) FET output transistors provide a warm tube-like sound. When I was a kid I heard Ginger Baker play several drum solos in a small club. When I play his Cream rendition of his Toad solo I am still floored ... |
