| Will Creek 5350 SE drive Magnepan 1.6QR? You are not going to get 'bass' out of a Maggie. It takes sub woofers (hybrid) to get to the lower frequencies. Even then, frequency integration is a challenge with those designs. The 1.6 only goes to what 40hz? No amount of power is going to chan... | |
| Interconnect between VTL tube pre and Bryston amp Plant earth calling.Cables can provide a sound of their own, they are certainly marketed for whatever that nuance is. But any 'sound' any component makes is distortion. And distracts from and corrupts the music being played (whatever the sonic qua... | |
| Has anyone heard the Art Audio Jota? The sorcery of audio notwithstanding, if you have to, you always use the specs (especially THD and IMD) to speculate how an amp will 'sound', whatever that means.That is, you do not want components to have a sound, which can only be distortion, wh... | |
| Will Creek 5350 SE drive Magnepan 1.6QR? If you put more power into the speaker than they are made to stand damage will result. That is why the mfgr gives minimum power requirement, and Maximum to protect them. I am curious why Magnapan so sidesteps the power issue unlike any other mfgr.... | |
| Placement for Soliloquy speakers 565 divided by 15 = 37, the lowest frequency the room can handle. The speakers go to 30hz, so it is likely, if the source material is not boomy bass heavy, that your setup is too much in the corners (the worst possible place for accurate bass resp... | |
| Will Creek 5350 SE drive Magnepan 1.6QR? Do you know the degree of distortion of the amp? Is it <0.1% over a 5hz-50khz frequency range. There are amps with way less (ATI for instance is <0.005%), but anything more and I think you are pretty much out of the 'hi-fi' catagory.What do ... | |
| Will Creek 5350 SE drive Magnepan 1.6QR? Point of order. You get bass response from the speaker drivers, not the amplifier. What you want from an amp is power sufficient for the drivers, but not such much to risk damage, and the minimal distortion. If it is low enough, like say ATI <0... | |
| Will Creek 5350 SE drive Magnepan 1.6QR? When it gets personal... it always comes to a bad end. It is a downward spiral. Lets get back to judgementaless free expression, and learn to enjoy each other's differences.Hint: consider your own attitue before judging what other's is. Especially... | |
| Will Creek 5350 SE drive Magnepan 1.6QR? Accepted. Were you having a bad day :-) | |
| Will Creek 5350 SE drive Magnepan 1.6QR? I have learned that in discussion forums when comments become personal the discussion usually comes to a bad end. It coming to an end then is good though because if the issues raised, and the opionons expressed are not addressed it just becomes a ... | |
| Monitor Audio GR10 speakers? A couple things to consider:Devide the longest room dimension into 565 to arrive at the maximum low frequency the room is capable of accomodating. Anything lower will distort all frequencies above it and degrade even the mids and highs.Enclosed ca... | |
| Food for thought/Opinions please I hear you. But consider if the change you perceive is not rather moral. Lower standards always result in society dumbing down to its baser instincts.Consider if that may not explain even more than you addressed about the culture we see becoming s... | |
| Cables for B&W and Rotel system. Says the nasayer, who would have you contiue the futile attempt to achieve anything worthwhile with the wire that connects two components together, rather than focus on the components, especially speakers, their setup and room conditions, and the ... | |
| Will Creek 5350 SE drive Magnepan 1.6QR? OKAudiophiles, like anything else I suppose, can be divided into two camps. The one, those who for some reason have been persuaded into using their playback system to mix and modify the music they play. Ever searching for that 'sound' that is supp... | |
| Will Creek 5350 SE drive Magnepan 1.6QR? Are you implying that there is NO difference in I/C's, speaker cables, and power cords? No. I am saying that any 'sound' a component has is distortion. Even it is a distortion that 'sounds good', or is pleasing, to the listener.The 'sound' of a ca... |
