| Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers Atmasphere, I included the quotes as per your request. The first two from you to support my premise that I wasn't putting words in your mouth. The ones from Duke (AKA: Audiokinesis) with re: to it being easier to steady an impedance by lowering t... | |
| Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers Atamsphere, here's another link:12-28-09: AudiokinesisUnsound, obviously I should have made it clear which part of my response was about things an owner of existing speakers could do, and which referred to something that would have to be done duri... | |
| SRV Instrumental tracks and similar artists I just love SRV's version of Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing". | |
| Would a MC275 VI work well with Thiel CS2.7? IMO, there are better amplifier options available. | |
| Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers ^Let's start with these links 1st: "If sound quality is your goal, it will be best served by a speaker that is 8 ohms or more, all other things being equal." If you want greater **sound pressure** there is a slight argument for 4 ohms if you have ... | |
| Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers Atmasphere, on this very forum speaker builders have suggested that with a lower impedance they can more easily achieve deeper bass response (extended frequency response), a more linear impedance (improve linearity of frequency response)and as you... | |
| Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers ^A lower impedance can help; extend frequency response, improve the linearity of frequency response, and as you've already noted can increase dynamic range. If autoformers were such a panacea, why don't more (any?) speaker manufacturers include t... | |
| Tube amp power watts equivalent to Solid State? ^The 3.5's were sealed boxes. Keep in mind the slightly elevated impedance peak on the 3.5's occurs just about where the supplied bass booster eq comes in. So just where the extra drain on the power amp required from the bass eq comes in, it's off... | |
| Glaring Omissions I can't stand Chet Baker! | |
| Alvin Lee- 1 year later I don't usually follow such things, but that "Captain Speed Fingers" (though he was so much more than just that) wasn't included in Rolling Stones 100 greatest guitarists is just so hard to believe, and only goes to show what rubbish such lists are. | |
| D-Sonic vs Wyred vs .... It would appear that the earlier versions of the ice modules might be better at doubling down than the newer versions of the ice modules. | |
| Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers Once again I disagree with Atmasphere's oft-repeated assertion. | |
| Tube amp power watts equivalent to Solid State? Bop Reynolds, look at these pre coincidental driver Thiel impedance plots: http://www.stereophile.com/content/thiel-cs2-loudspeaker-measurements http://www.stereophile.com/content/thiel-cs35-loudspeaker-measurements http://www.stereophile.com/cont... | |
| Tube amp power watts equivalent to Solid State? ^Dang! | |
| Tube amp power watts equivalent to Solid State? Atmasphere, am I to understand that you're suggesting that as long as an amp avoids actual clipping that it will sound more powerful the more it distorts? |
