My TNTs were just rebuilt/modified by Roy Esposito in Florida. He added fully balanced mode and mono capability. I've not had any prior experience with these amps. He was instrumental in developing the circuit being an engineer at Acoustat back then so he knows what's possible. All I can say is they are the fastest, most musical amps I've yet experienced. They are 'visceral'. A term that has not come to mind in describing an amp till now. However, Andy Szabo, another former engineer at Acoustat, uses modified 9505s also. He say's they are a significant improvement over the TNTs. I've not had any experience with this amp. But he's comparing to the stock TNT. Is there anything you can tell me in comparison? I need another amp for the 2405s or maybe something else for the bottom end.
Anybody have an actively multi-amplified system?
Hello,
I am one of the very rare breeds that has a fully active system, 6 Jeff Rowland monoblocks running Klipschorns with an Accuphase F-25V electronic crossover in front of the amplifiers, and the passive crossovers taken out of the speakers. It sounds absolutely phenomenal, like nothing else out there. I've been in the business 35 years and have yet to meet anyone (in home audio at least) who has done something similar. It's done all the time in pro audio, yet nobody talks about it for home use. It's widely known that an actively amplified setup simply IS better than any passively crossed over speaker, since the dividing is done before the amplifier, each amplifier only amplifies a certain frequency range, and then the output of the amplifier is connected directly to an individual driver with nothing in between. If anyone has such a setup, is interested in learning more about one, or wants to throw in their 2 cents, please do! It's about time we did talk about this, and I can't believe in all these years more companies haven't actively (pun intended) embraced this type of setup. Also, if anyone has crossover cards for an F-25V crossover, please let me know!!!
