| Class D is just Dandy! Hi John,Thanks very much for the tip on the microphone and the software. I will check it out. Sorry you have to give back the Scintillas.Erik, Agreed. The room plays a big part as well and among other things.Kenny, Looking forward to your review,... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Erik,Just to add a bit about the Scintillas. Sure, they are closer to a short over the entire audio frequency spectrum than any other speakers to date. It is not that hard to design a conventional linear class A amp to deal with that which I have ... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Kenny,Unfortunately, I am not very well equipped with instruments to perform such tasks.Henry | |
| Class D is just Dandy! John,It is very rare to find a Scintillas owner. Are you located in Texas? Henry | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Erik,There is no misunderstanding at all and I apologize for my writing not being very clear at times. I understood completely what you asked, and that is you want to see is the real frequency response plot of the amp while driving such a load and... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! John,Thanks for asking George that question as I forgot and really very puzzled as to where he got that from.Henry | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Hi Erik,I will elaborate at a later time since I lost all 3 pages which I wrote, seriously. But very briefly, I am not asking you to believe anything I say of course! until you hear it. In fact, I don't want anyone to take anything I say as gospel... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Hi Erik,Well, It is not rated doesn’t mean it can not drive it. It is just that the designer didn’t test it with such a load. The same goes for the NCore. And to be fair, Apogee is no more for many many years and very few own the 1 ohm scintillas.... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Hi Kenny,Just to be clear so that there is no misunderstanding that I am not here to advertise my product. I am the manufacturer of the H2O AUDIO amps as some of you here know. But since you are asking, for over 10 years I have used the icepower... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! "The only negatives to class d is driving the exotic speakers,the ones that drop below 3ohms."Kenny,I believe it is all about system synergy and listener's preferences. I have class D driving the Apogee Scintillas just fine. The Scintillas's imp... | |
| Class D = Trash? Tim,"Hi Ho". After I realized how goofy that sounded, I told him his new American name would be "Henry" . LOL! That is very funny. Speaking of which there are a pair of the Nord monoblocks NC500 for sale right now on Agon. Fund is very limited ... | |
| Class D = Trash? Hi Tim,Thank you very much for your understanding the tip on the Abletec power amp modules. Unfortunately, I think all modules being offered by Abletec has built-in SMPS and there is not really a way to bypass/separate the SMPS from the amp secti... | |
| Class D = Trash? Tim,I wanted to add that though I have not have a chance to listen to one yet! But I believe the D-sonic amp is an great amp from what I have read. And ice on the cake is the price especially.Henry | |
| Class D = Trash? Hi Tim, ThanksI apologize for what I wrote was not very clear. So let me rephrase and make it a bit more clear. You’re right that there is not a direct relationship between good bass and an analog power supply, which makes sense, after all power s... | |
| Class D = Trash? Erik,I believe Krell FPB does not have a fully regulated power supply from front to back. The KRS series does and maybe the Krell master reference as well. Though to my belief that power supply is one fundamental aspect of amplifier design, but ... |
