| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load George,You said "This Stereophile’s JA’s statement, is the typical case where a 25w amp like the ML2’s with doubling capable wattage current will drive a pig of a load like these Alexia’s and the OP’s speaker "to a given level" with perfection bet... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load golfnutz,In my post, I was not defensive about my Mytek Brooklyn amp. I thanked you for quoting Stereophile measurements whose power capabilities are at odds with the excellent sound quality described in the review and confirmed by my listening. ... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load golfnutz,Thanks for quoting Stereophile on my Mytek Brooklyn amp. George would say it is a mediocre amp because it doesn't increase its output capability much as the impedance is lowered. SO WHAT? It is a budget amp which happens to have accura... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load mcreyn--correct. | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load George,So what that "a good BJT amp will always drive into these sub 2ohm low impedance’s and do the wattage doubling act better than a Mosfet Class-D even GaN based one The best linear amps that can do it are all BJ" blah blah. The musical resol... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load George,I read what anybody has to say, but the only thing I trust is my own EARS. Do you believe the Electronic Institute rather than your ears? If so, then you believe your ears don't matter and therefore you have lost credibility. I bet that ... | |
| Separate DAC or continue using the Oppo UDP-205 tweak1,Are you saying that your friend's hard drive version of the same recordings on CD sound superior to the CD? In what way? | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load Thanks for posting the info about the ME amps. They may sound excellent, but that is not the central issue discussed here. The issue is that you have not shown you understand the correlation of technical measurements with tonal qualities. Worse... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load There is indeed no hope for you. All your pseudoscience data is nothing more than pseudoscience because without listening correlation it is irrelevant to the pursuit of audio excellence. Accuracy in sound doesn't necessarily correlate with specs... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load I will add that my class D Mytek Brooklyn amp is very neutral, revealing and smooth in the HF. It briefly shuts down at 300 watts into my inefficient electrostatic + parallel Enigmacoustics tweeter combination whose impedance is about 2 ohms in H... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load george hifi,Maybe you do much less listening than analyzing specs. The Levinson ML2 fully broken in which I owned years ago was syrupy euphonic and veiled at low/moderate volumes with my electrostatic speakers. Instead of claiming ricevs is a pr... | |
| Would switching amps make a big difference? atmasphere,The essence of my post is that although the SS amp has more power capability into low vs high impedances, that doesn't mean the SS amp will have a tonal balance skewed toward the HF when driving an electrostatic speaker. To use our num... | |
| Would switching amps make a big difference? atmasphere,Let me elaborate on your statement, "since solid state amps tend to double power as impedance is halved, right away you can see that the MLs will be a bit bright if the amp actually got away with that." Actually, I think that although ... | |
| Audioquest Dragon Powercord vs Hurricane ricred1,I agree on most of what you just said. I would say that PERFECT fidelity is not possible, but HIGH fidelity is. Certainly most recordings add distortion which we don't exactly know went into the processing, but you can ignore the distort... | |
| Audioquest Dragon Powercord vs Hurricane ricred1,You simply asked me whether I thought clarity/detail is an "absolute" or whether it is subjective, like "your clarity is my sterile/bright." That was a good question. Forget audio systems for a moment. I gave examples of the spoken word... |
