| Autoformer vs Speaker impedance Curve Thanks atmasphere. Maybe bloated isn’t the correct word. The bass is markedly more pronounced from my tube amp (60 Watt push pull, KT88, “some” local negative feedback) than my SS CA-2300. It’s also seems “looser” or less defined. Nonetheless, it ... | |
| Autoformer vs Speaker impedance Curve Thanks Al. Guess that explains the bloated bass when I run 802D3s on my tube amp. | |
| Autoformer vs Speaker impedance Curve A twist on the original question. Numbers and graphs aside, what we hear is the ultimate arbiter. With a tube audio transformer:What happens to what we hear when the speaker impedance dips hard at a specific frequency? Will that “frequency” be he... | |
| Autoformer vs Speaker impedance Curve Excellent link atmasphere. Great read...I’m on my second time through and taking notes. | |
| Autoformer vs Speaker impedance Curve Also, where does one find the level of feed back and global vs local for a given amp??? Doesn’t seem like a spec often given by manufacturers. | |
| Autoformer vs Speaker impedance Curve Love this forum. The level of knowledge here is amazing! Any thoughts on how old is “too old” for higher end SS amps? Still have my eye on the Classé Omega Monos but it’s at least 15 years old (I have the serial numbers and will get exact age). | |
| Autoformer vs Speaker impedance Curve Thanks again both! Was just listening to “Interstellar” sound track. Can definitely hear the fan on soft passages. I will clean the fan filter. | |
| Autoformer vs Speaker impedance Curve Omega Mono Refrence purchased new in 2004 | |
| Autoformer vs Speaker impedance Curve Thanks for the link. Doesn’t look like a good match. There is a Classé Omega for sale for that is tempting, but I just can’t bring myself to part with that kind of coin for a 15 year old amp. Too close to a recap. Not sure I could find a local ... | |
| Autoformer vs Speaker impedance Curve Any thoughts on Pass Labs XA-160.8 with 802D3s? | |
| Autoformer vs Speaker impedance Curve Thanks caphill!I’m definitely a Classé fanboy. I absolutely love the sound of my 2300 and can only imagine how good your CA-M600s sound. I haven’t ruled them out, but the fan noise has been an issue for me. I’m in an extremely quiet and smallish ... | |
| Autoformer vs Speaker impedance Curve Find a used Classé Omega power amplifierNice! Don’t see any on the market and they are 20 years old. Recap time. I’m terrible with a soldering iron, and sourcing all the caps… | |
| Autoformer vs Speaker impedance Curve Thanks for the suggestions George. I probably shouldn’t have take this thread off topic by asking for suggestions. My bad. There are plenty of threads on that topic. But...I’m currently running a CA-2300 with my 802D3s (both bought used) and am ... | |
| Autoformer vs Speaker impedance Curve your better off using an amp that is right for the job ...such as? | |
| Autoformer vs Speaker impedance Curve an Autoformer would work, because it’s one of the only speakers that presents a very benign 3-4 ohm impedance load.This statement ignores the fact that loop feedback compensates for this sort of thing.Loop feedback compensates for the autoformerHo... |
