| How are Hig-End Speakers Priced? Pubul57, I understand your perspective, but the dealers would be outraged if the potential for undercut to them, came from the manufacturer themselves. The manufacturer would now on some level be acting as dealer, something that would add to their... | |
| Ayre V-Kxe and Thiel 2.4s Countingbackwards, the XA30.5's the OP was using is a pretty modern design. Moving up to a more powerful XA.5 would probably be ideal, but there are budget considerations. | |
| Ayre V-Kxe and Thiel 2.4s Cal3713, I was just responding to your thoughts of adding an independent 20 amp line for your amp. | |
| Ayre V-Kxe and Thiel 2.4s Charles1dad, thank you. | |
| FM Radio is dead ....R.I.P Streaming radio certainly provides a much greater selection, sometimes comes with additional costs, sometimes comes with additional complexity, sometimes comes with less complexity, sometimes comes with better sound due to reception issues in some... | |
| Ayre V-Kxe and Thiel 2.4s Charles1dad, we don't know of Steve's great sonic results, only of his opinion of such. Thiel recommends more power, Pass recommends more power, and there hasn't been anything but an anecdotal reason to suggest otherwise. The measurements provided... | |
| Ayre V-Kxe and Thiel 2.4s Russellrcncom, the placement of the volume knob might not be meaningful with re: to the respective differences between power output of the different amplifiers. The amplifiers just might have different input sensitivities for full power output, an... | |
| Ayre V-Kxe and Thiel 2.4s Cal3713, FWIW the Pass XA30.5 is a 15 amp draw. | |
| Ayre V-Kxe and Thiel 2.4s Charles1dad, the last line of my last post was uncalled for. Please accept my apologies. | |
| Is anyone thinking about building Walsh drivers? I believe that the German Physiks DDD could be considered an evolution of the original Walsh Driver. | |
| Ayre V-Kxe and Thiel 2.4s Charles1dad, I can't and won't discount Stevecham's listening experience, but he's the one that first provided measurements to support his position. I respect that he also offered this objective argument to his position. After all, without it; it ... | |
| Ayre V-Kxe and Thiel 2.4s Here is Stereophile's measurements of the the Thiel CS 2.4s:http://www.stereophile.com/content/thiel-cs24-loudspeaker-measurementsI think it fair to say, that it doesn't appear to be that easy a load for a typical low powered tube amp. | |
| Ayre V-Kxe and Thiel 2.4s With all due repect, and despite the included commentary in those test results, those measurements aren't exactly impressive; clipped at 36W (15.6dBW) ("isn't bad", really ?), and well below Thiels recommendation. If anything, perhaps it's the pow... | |
| Amplifier Modification Nelson Pass put an auto-former on the front end of one of his First-Watt amps. I suppose something like that might work? | |
| Top 5 Hamburgers You do realize that Zagats is a compilation of consumer rankings? I've met the Zagat family, and they do indeed no know a great deal about good food. |
