The Dynaudio Focus 360 speakers have a nominal impedance of 4 ohms. While the exact impedance curve is not provided, it is known that the impedance dips to a minimum of around 3.88 ohms at certain frequencies, and the phase angle can also fluctuat...

According to my search, artificial intelligence says: The Adcom GFA-545 II power amplifier is rated at 150 watts per channel into 4 ohms.  If it doesn’t double down it’s not high current in my opinion. And I don’t know much about your speakers, ...

@twangy57  I've been reading this forum for about 8 or 10 months. I seldom comment for various reasons, and prefer to read and try to learn. I've learned some things about audio and the people here. There are all kinds of people, no matter where...

There are some very grumpy people on this forum.   
Should I buy another flat screen now while they are still relatively cheap?
Prices will rise and shelves will be bare. Your current TV is old enough to fail, so, buying now is probably wise. And I should also buy a tv while there is still a good selection! Thanks for mentioning it. Don't forget to buy your five pencils...

@dz13  I gladly accept the problems of planar magnetic speakers because the benefits are fabulous.  Is there a cure for phobia of box speakers? 🤔...haven’t heard it yet! But I’m definitely open to open baffle speakers.

I can’t keep track ot the many speaker suggestions and amp suggestions that you’ve received, and your reactions to these suggestions. But I think you mentioned that Proac speakers were interesting to you. And I assume Chicago is your nearest city....

@twangy57  So what you are saying is that you struggle with indecision! Well crap!!! I’m the king of indecision.  There were three sisters. I met them one at a time, and first was Debbie. She was the most beautiful girl in the world, without a ...

I feel sorry for @twangy57  because he could never make sense of the hundreds of speaker/amp recommendations that he's been given! 😵‍💫  I hope Twangy can get to  a store and experience something that sounds just right for him. That's the worst pa...

@twangy57  It's hard to say how long Maggies last.  I've never experienced a failure. But there are used Maggies on ebay that are more than twenty years old. Just don't drive them too loud. I'd say you can safely drive them to 90db. I think if y...

@twangy57  I'm curious. Did you think about Magnepan? I know they're not for everyone, but I can see them being great for most of your music genres. Personally, I'm done with box speakers. Planar magnetic speakers are very transparent, detailed, ...

@twangy57  I feel the same way. Karen's voice affects me in profound ways. She makes me melt like I'm falling in love!

@twangy57  If a system can't do justice to Karen Carpenter's voice, it's worthless! 😊    
Is it possible to find a good DAC for under $50, 000?
@mitch2  Thank you for your great response! After dinner i will research your whole list. Eventually I might learn more about DACs and streamers, but I’m just beginning. Last night I did some preliminary searches and made a haphazard list. I will...
