| paradigm studio 100 v.3 and anthem amps I know many will have a different opinion about the sound, but passive bi-amping does not provide much, if any, output increase. Certainly it does not provide the additive output of both amps which is a common misconception. Amps of "x" power prov... | |
| Crown amps My personal take is that they sound fine. Note this is based on only a weekend of listening to a Crown K2.I rented it to evaluate for subwoofer duty but just for fun, I connected it to some speakers I have - Definitive Tech BP-30 and Paradigm Stud... | |
| Crown amps Pro audio amps are probably the closest thing going to the proverbial straight wire with gain.Many audiophiles don't necessarily want a straight wire with gain and rather prefer an amp that may well be voiced a certain way. | |
| what is the best way to upgrade my HT system? Have you incorporated any acoustical treatments in the room? | |
| confusion about the aragon 28k pre amp If you want quiet and a low budget yet decent sounding, try to find one of the older Yamaha pre-amps like the C-80. | |
| Sound tripping at "not loud enough" volumes It could also be that the nature of the mid/high section load has a component of inductive and/or capacitive reactance that is not to the liking of your amplifer and causing it to go into the protection mode. | |
| CLASS A AMPLIFIERS Class A operation is the transistors are fully biased (turned on) meaning there is no crossover distortion (notch??) when the signal swings from + to - and vice versa.A watt is a watt, so Class A watts are not more powerful than say Class AB watts... | |
| Quietest amp you ever owned ? Yamaha M-80SNR -127dB | |
| Yamaha CX-10000 centennial preamp Very nice. Certainly humbles my C-80/M-80 set up, although the C-80/M-80 are very nice and in my opinion are near the top of the Yamaha gear other than the few more rare beasts such as yours. | |
| Can you bridge a carver 705x 5-channel amp ? Agreed. Running 4 Ohm speakers in bridged mode is like running 2 Ohm speakers in non-bridged mode. Many amps don't respond well to 2 Ohm loads.The point was that when running bridged the power output is more than double the 8 Ohm wpc rating. When ... | |
| Can you bridge a carver 705x 5-channel amp ? IF you have the amp or can look at it, you should be able to tell on the back panel. There is often a switch and or pictoral instructions for bridging the amp if it's possible.BTW, if the amp is bridgable, it would probably put out more than 250 w... | |
| Balanced Pre for Bi Amping Recommendations Please Perhaps you already know, but if you are thinking that (for example) bi-amping with 2 amps at 200 wpc is like having 400 wpc, it's not. It doesn't work that way... | |
| Hall of Fame: BIGGEST BADDEST Monster Amps Cwlondon, perhaps not. But I think often gear that does not have a certain name is usually deemed unworthy by audiophiles.However, one thing that occurs to me is that reproducing "live" sound in the home is sometimes referred to as a goal. The poi... | |
| Levinson amp accept "Bananas" ?? My No. 23 will accept banana plugs if they are the single variety. The dual banana plugs I've tried do not fit as the posts on the No. 23 are too far apart to accept them. | |
