| Class A Solid State Sound @Mitch2, with traditional speakers as impedance drops so does sensitivity. The BHK mono's 950 Watts into 2 Ohms is the equivalent to what a 237.5 Watt into 8 ohms amp that could truly double down could provide into 2 Ohms. Even after what seems l... | |
| Class A Solid State Sound @Kosst_amojan, I disagree with your take on the way Pass Labs specs their amps. The independent measurements aren't confusing, the labeling of Pass Lab's specs are. Nelson Pass's labeling of specs though still then confusing were at least less so... | |
| Class A Solid State Sound @kosst_amojan, I meant no disrespect to Nelson Pass. I have a lot of respect for much his work, and am a happy long term user of a Nelson Pass pre and power amp. In my original attempt at my previous post, I tried to include links to all of the St... | |

| Class A Solid State Sound Pass Labs declines to spec their amps into 2 Ohms. Stereophile’s measurements of Pass Labs amps into 2 Ohms have resulted in a mixed bag of results. Interestingly (well at least to me) some of these "objective" results might be deemed either posit... | |

| Low Sensitivity Speakers Compression Issue. Let's put forward a list of high sensitivity speakers that have can produce a good square wave and step response: | |
| Bi amp pros out there I could use some help! First time Bi Amping... I agree with Millercarbon, use the KISS approach. You don’t have the ideal pre and your using different amps. IMHO, the Alpeh 5 is not the best match for the Dunlavy’s with what I believe to be a 3 Ohm minimum impedance. I suggest you sell both a... | |
| Bi amp pros out there I could use some help! First time Bi Amping... In addition to what has already been posted; the Dunlavy's with their 1st order cross-overs have significant overlap, ideally you would be using two identical amplifiers.I would not recommend bypassing the Dunlavy cross-overs, as they are custom t... | |
| Should I repair my Creek 4330 or replace it? Which model Von Schweikert speakers are you using? | |
| Thiel Owners Arvincastro, the audible differences between the 20 and 40 Hz setting is very dependent (!) on the particular music recordings and the listening room. | |
| Thiel Owners tomthiel, no reason to apologize! Indeed there are numerous benefits to multi-amping, as thielrules has eloquently pointed out.Truth be told though, the cost of multi-amped CS 5's starts to make alternative choices a compelling consideration. | |
| Thiel Owners ^That sounds most interesting. Though, I not sure doubling the amplifier budget comes across as quite easily fixed? Two short runs of cables cost more than one run of cable of equal length.Still interesting. | |
| Thiel Owners @thielrules, while I agree with what you've posted, I think there are few things to consider. The 3.5's as supplied only have single amplifier inputs. What you are suggesting is not possible without modifications to the speakers, which could depre... | |
| Thiel Owners I've been using my 3.5's with eq on full boost in a moderately large room (15' ceiling peak) and play music at the volumes which were intended, scaled back for domestic room size, in other words; fairly loud on peaks, with an amp capable of 500 Wa... |
