| 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... | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong ricevs,Also, very high power amps are large and heavy, with long circuit paths and lots of circuitry with plenty of opportunity for mismatch of transistors, etc. As you say, remove what isn't necessary. So the D'ag Relentless is probably not pur... | |
| Audioquest Dragon Powercord vs Hurricane ricred1,In music, audio reproduction and life, there are some objective absolutes and some subjective preferences. Clarity/detail is one of those absolutes, not a matter of opinion. Songs have words which are often hard to fully appreciate. It ... | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong ricevs,Many interesting topics for discussion. As you know, specs don't tell the full story of how an amp sounds in a system. While I am not as technically knowledgeable as you or other manufacturers, I have learned that most of those specs are ... | |
| Audioquest Dragon Powercord vs Hurricane millercarbon.I agree with everything you said. The other factor to consider is the quality of the recording. Rock/pop are heavily processed in general, whereas classical recordings usually are natural. If the goal is high fidelity (HF) and not ... | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong ricevs,What amp have you heard side by side with your EVS 1200 that makes it "better" or SOTA, whatever that means? I am not impressed by high retail prices on hyped big brand names. I heard an Audionet that was warmer and rolled off compared t... | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong klh007,Can we hear about sound quality of the Mivera vs EVS 1200 amps, rather than concentrating on dynamics only? For me, purity and clarity at moderate SPL is far more important than loud, lower quality sound. If an amp has lesser clarity at m... | |
| Merrill Audio ELEMENT 118 on Tour What is happening with the 6moons review of the 114? Srajan seems to be bored. "To be continued" has been there for a month or so. | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong jetter,Also, tweak1 likes his Audio Alchemy DPA1 stereo amp, which is class D. I agree that he may be eagerly anticipating the EVS 1200, but when he gets it his ears will tell the truth. | |
| Merrill Audio ELEMENT 118 on Tour Viber7,Thanks for your well expressed clarification, particularly how the 118 by itself keeps the guitar and related transient rich instruments sharp and clear, in contrast to the Christine which has a softening effect. I also like your methodolo... |
