| If bi-amping is so great, why do some high end speakers not support it? I don’t see a value in biwiring or biamping unless you have an active crossover. It does offer the possibility of using less expensive high quality amps to achieve a higher total power output to drive your speakers than the cost of a high powered ... | |
| active speakers, Paradise? Trouble in paradise? Hi Jim, I’m a firm believer that the best sound possible is done through an active set up. You send just what you want to the amp and driver it controls. You can make any speaker active by defeating the passive crossover and taking advantage of an... | |
| Apartment Dweller's Paradise - The Ideal 2 ch. system? Love the super efficient, 99db, sound of Lowther Field Coil Drivers. . . Probably would put them in an open baffle such as this one from Nelson Pass http://www.firstwatt.com/pdf/art_slob.pdfI'd combine it with a First Watt Amp. I'm sure it would b... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! I love my little Benchmark AHB2 amps. They are A/B with class H rails but minimize the distortion to pre-amp levels using feed forward error correction. Ultra small and fast switching power supplies that move the switching out of the range of huma... | |
| Anyone using baffless speaker with a full range? Nelson Pass has a side web site called FirstWatt.com where he discusses his, design philosophies, DIY projects, experimental circuits, and speaker design. He wrote about an open baffle with a slot loaded base design you may find interesting. Here ... | |
| Magnepans Nice congrats on the 3.7i's. I'm sure you'll love them! | |
| Can the WAF Kill an Audio System? Randy-11 Lol you looked at my profile. I thought it was a perfect solution! Don't you? - Steve | |
| Can the WAF Kill an Audio System? My wife is awesome and loves the system. . . I did involve her in buying my equipment rack because I knew that was in important factor in looks and she needed the plants so I had to get creative with getting a vertical lattice at the window. The s... | |
| Magnepans in a small room My 20.1s sound amazing in my studio. . . Ya their huge but people's jaws just drop at the sound. I have them 3ft from the side walls and 4ft from the back walls and actively bi-amp them with room correction through a Mini DSP and Room EQ Wizard. Y... | |
| Magnepans Nobel 100 thanks - the AHB2 has some very interesting topography (class H rails) but next to zero distortion based on their innovative feed forward error correction. Worth a serious look for high performing relatively low cost amps. Gmosley - I di... | |
| Others experience re: subs and Magmepan 20 I think it makes a huge difference to get those last notes about of the music, my wife says that she was surprised how much the subs helped. . . I have 20.1s and Kinergetic SW-800s amplified by a Pass x250 up front. I also have two super fast SVS-... | |
| Wife trouble I told my (future) wife it was my dream to have an amazing stereo, took her to AXPONA for the day and she could really hear the difference in all the rigs we listened to, she had never heard sound reproduction like that and started to accept that ... | |
| Magnepans Just for reference amp and set up recommendation: I've just gotten my Mini DSP active crossover set up balanced into two Benchmark AHB2 amps (3k new) fed directly (bare wire) into my 20.1 Maggies. One amp for the highs and one for the lows. It's t... | |
| Amp ac cable connection I've been a firm believer in good power filtering since I moved into my Chicago apartment as a kid and couldn't listen to my rig due to the line noise or watch my projector due to the power fluctuations. My first piece of real gear was a power con... |
