| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker @kijanki never mind the website does mention "MAXIMUM AUDIO OUTPUT CURRENT29 A peak, per channel, both channels driven" | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker @kijanki My amps manual says the same i.e 29A peak into 1 Ohm. Is this per channel I am assuming?. Most amp state this number per channel if I understand that right. | |
| What amps should I audition? I don’t have a lot of experience but to me buying an amp before speaker introduces the risk of incompatibility. Also amps performance is not correlated with price is my observation.Being objective about speaker requirement and objective about amp ... | |
| Best amp options between $2k-$4 to power Magnepan 1.7? @bdp24 +1 A used Sanders Magtech, designed for high current applications like your speakers. Check out Sanders website, they make speakers too. | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker @georgehifi Benchmark has no peer in controlling distortion , zero cross over distortion but without class A hassle. I will get answers regarding damping factor and total current. I am buying them used btw.@kijanki thank you so much pointing fhat ... | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker The reviews from Douglas, pooraudiophile.com and measurements from stereophile all encouraged me to try this amp out. I appreciate all their work and comments. Now I just have to decide if I need to buy two amps or just live with one. Does bridgin... | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker @georgehifi I cannot bi-amp since Legacy Aeris has the low frequency section already powered. | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker Word has come through that the speaker can only dip to 3.8 Ohm. So given that Benchmark AHB2 is stable till 3 Ohm. Now the question I have is that the amp is rated at 18A per channel unbridged. Once bridged what does it put out?. I think there is ... | |
| New power cord needed for speaker with powered subwoofer? @rvpiano lol!, our biases are quite strong, run a test like @prof is suggesting. You may be surprised at the result. Remember to run the experiment few times. | |
| Devore Nines vs. 0/93's From spending 30 minutes or so with both speakers I found Nines to be better at lower frequencies compared to O/93, you will feel it immediately. I felt O/93 just a bit more resolving at other frequencies or fuller sounding probably due to its pre... | |
| Efficient 2 way bookshelf/monitors under 2k 85 dB/ 1 Watt / 1 Meter @ 8 Ohm is not efficient. Turn it up a little and you will reach clipping way too soon with 10 Watts or less. Assuming you wont sit at 1 meter, if you do then you are golden!. | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker Is the raise of Noise floor from -112 dB to -109.2 dB really bad?, Seems like this is quite better than many implementations by wide margin at least 6 to 9 dB below, or did I get this wrong?. | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker @twoleftears I did read the article by pooraudiophile.com and did reach out to Benchmark a while ago and asked about possible tested numbers till 4 Ohm when bridged. Here is the response I have recieved:OUTPUT VOLTAGE INTO VARIOUS LOAD IMPEDANCES&... | |
| Time for a Pre change? Need the wisdom... EQ ? | |
| Which upgraded fuse is recommended for an Onkyo and Elac setup? I recommend getting the 3 meter version a deal at $17.5k instead of $20k. You save $2.5k !!!.My current amp is less than $2.5k, lucky me!. |
