| Overpowering Speakers Sorry everyone if I have put you through all of this, I hope it has been beneficial, but I think that I'm going to leave this one alone, I didn't sign on to argue or prove anything, only to help, I'm a big stickler on seperating fact from opinion.... | |
| Overpowering Speakers This is from Club knowledge, an article about clipping distortion. I hope this makes sense. Tim Glad you asked! The amp will try to meet the power demand placed upon it, but it cannot exceed its design capabilities. This in turn, produces the dead... | |
| Overpowering Speakers Thanks Al, I was trying to make very general terms understandable and as much as you are generally correct. Crossovers do see DC as High frequency and do route 1st to the tweeter. This DC is raw current. Crossovers do not block DC. In fact, Throu... | |
| Overpowering Speakers I appologize, I had just run the numbers off the top of my head, but the formula is fact, not opinion, so84 @1 watt 105 @25687 @2 watts 111 @512 watts @ 84db sensitivity90 @4 111 @ 64 watts @ 93db sensitivity93 @8 I missed one line in figuring.96 ... | |
| Overpowering Speakers Just a quick add on to make the point of sensitivity and power. All other aspects being equal, a 93db sensitivity speaker will play a volume of 111db using 64 watts. A speaker with 84 db sensitivity will play a volume of 111db on 256 watts.Your sp... | |
| Overpowering Speakers You have to double your power to get a 3db gain. It takes 3db to get a noticable difference in volume. If you are listening to a speaker of 90db @ 1 watt, 2 watts give you 93db, 4 watts give you 96db, 8 watts give you 99db, 16 watts give you 102db... | |
| Overpowering Speakers I don't know that I completely understand your question. If you like to play your tunes very loud, it is possible to blow them up with any amount of power. You are more likely to blow up speakers with a 20 watt receiver than a 300 watt amp. When y... | |

| Help power pair of Infinity Kappa 9's please Hi Jtiesel2, I ran SpeakerCraft/Marcof electronics, back in the early 80's. I had my own Stereo Store a few years in the late 80's,early 90's in St. Louis called Sounds Right. I've been a manufacter's rep for high end audio and 12v. I've built an... | |
| B&W Matrix 3 Series 2 - To mod or not to mod? Even if you sell, I would still replace at least 2. The bad one and the one in the same position on your other speaker. People will wonder what else might be wrong with the dust cap off.Bmanz420, I've been building speakers for 31 years. If your c... | |
| B&W Matrix 3 Series 2 - To mod or not to mod? Hi Bmanz420, Those dustcaps should be fine. The harder the cap the further out in the midrange the speaker is capable of playing (typically) As long as the weight is very similar to the old cap and the crossover point is below where the dustcap af... | |
| Help power pair of Infinity Kappa 9's please Jtiesel2,Do the surrounds actually have holes in them or are they just becoming weak? I've posted it on Audiogon before. If you have some old latex paint sitting around, open it being careful not to shake it at all. The latex and pigment will be s... | |
| Help power pair of Infinity Kappa 9's please http://www.stereophile.com/solidpoweramps/sumo_andromeda_power_amplifier/Stereophile review on the original Andromeda. Stereophile says to use a impedance compensation circuit on certain electrostatics, because they can show a dead short to the am... | |
| Help power pair of Infinity Kappa 9's please As far as the Andromeda comment vs the Aragon. The Andromeda II or III would not drive this either, only original Andromeda, if that is what they compared the Aragon with, I still understand it. The Aragon had better midrange than the Andromeda. T... | |
| Help power pair of Infinity Kappa 9's please I do not have them, but if anyone can get proper driver specs a impedance compensation circuit could be added. I worked at SpeakerCraft/Marcof Electronics in the early 80's we used this circuitry then, we had great computer programs, but it was st... |
