| Thiel Owners I’m not trying to discourage you from using DSP, just what might be involved. I think having the speakers right up against the wall behind the speakers could reduce demands on the amp, and perhaps more importantly not over correct the direct prima... | |
| Thiel Owners ^It’s possible that DSP could add demands to the amp. | |
| Thiel Owners I found the Bryston’s very much improved over their earlier models (which I didn’t much care for) with the ST models with the earlier 4 Ohm > and up model Thiel’s. Not comparable to the likes from Krell, Threshold, et al, but a nice viable affo... | |
| Thiel cs2.3 ^Good choice, but it appears as is often the case Class A output decreases as power increases into lower impedances. | |
| Thiel cs2.3 Here you go:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEcFkSQMc8g I'm not sure why he thinks it's a rant, or how starting his speaker company is going to change things. His points are right on target. And he gives a fair appraisal of the virtues of some of... | |
| Thiel cs2.3 Thanks,🙄 i searched and found nothing one those specifics. | |
| Thiel cs2.3 ^link? | |
| Thiel cs2.3 They are. | |
| Thiel cs2.3 ^They have that reputation. The models with autoformers are somewhat unique, could be an issue with the CS 2.3’s rising impedance at the bass frequencies. | |
| Thiel Owners ^The Bryston 4B3 is not spec’d into 2 Ohms, and isn’t spec’d to double down from 8 Ohms into 4 Ohms. I wouldn’t consider this amp as a testament of the full potential prowess of ss amplification with the Thiel 2.7’s. | |
| Thiel cs2.3 When a manufacturer claims that their amp is “stable” into a given impedance; all they are saying is that the amp won’t go into oscillation into that impedance, it doesn’t suggest how much power, distortion, or quality will be delivered into that ... | |
| Thiel Owners @xyzsantabarbara, As I understand it; yes. I believe many of the Krell’s do, that the Mark Levinson ML 2’s did, some of the Pass Labs might (limited to 4 Ohms maybe?)? I wouldn’t swear on it though. I’ll hazard a guess that the Class A output is h... | |
| Put that in your pipe(s) and smoke it ^Throwing the baby out with bath water?There are legitimate concerns included within. | |
| Thiel Owners ^Does the Class A drop, maintain or increase as impedance load is lowered? | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel, I would imagine that with the extreme overlap of the first order cross-overs that when multi-amping there would be significant advantages in using identical amps. |
