| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? I, we(?) all know what you mean. I got the itch and bought a few amps (3) while I've had my CAT JL2s, I sold all three and kept the CATs, so maybe, just maybe... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? That is a good question. One purpose would be to identify some of the best amps available for consideration. What would be even more interesting to me is to identify the best amp you have owned and what three other amps you owned or compared them ... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? Hyperbole | |
| From Pass X250,5 to 350,5 : what to expect? The X series also doubles power, always has. But the XA is a better sounding design if sufficient power. The XA100.5 is wat more than enough power with the Revels for 99.99% of the time is most rooms. | |
| From Pass X250,5 to 350,5 : what to expect? The design differences between and the X.5 and XA.5 are quite "drastic". And pure Class A watts are not the same as A/B watts - in part because there is more to power and sound levels than just watts. By the way, Ayre is also first-class SS amplif... | |
| From Pass X250,5 to 350,5 : what to expect? Tboooe, I think all your assumptions are right and your conclusion regarding the need for power is right - we generally need a lot less than we think. I would only argue that given the same basic design approach, the lower power version of that de... | |
| Speaker dilema A used pair of Merlin VSM with a BAM; I think you should be able to find one of the older models in that price range. | |
| From Pass X250,5 to 350,5 : what to expect? Well the NFB would be a signficant difference for sound quality and that might explain the difference some have heard, although I suspect the 30 versus 50 in Class A would not be to relevant with the Revels. | |
| cat jl3 signatures vs. atmashere ma2III's Sounds like two SOTA, outstanding products, that only a personal audition in your system can solve. There are many people who love and swear by both. No bad choice here, unless you have a really tricky speaker for the OTLs, the Escalantes obviousl... | |
| From Pass X250,5 to 350,5 : what to expect? Well, I can't argue with what you experience, it just seems hard to believe that going from 250 watts to 350 watts can make any noticeable difference with fairly efficient speakers with smooth impedances (which I think most Proacs are). Now it may... | |
| From Pass X250,5 to 350,5 : what to expect? Fatcataudio, what speakers did you use for your evaluation? | |
| From Pass X250,5 to 350,5 : what to expect? 250 watts and the current drive into low impedances would seem to be plenty of power to deafen you with the Revel Salons, unless you have a really big room. I would think 110db would be plenty loud, the 350 would only increase the output to 111-11... | |
| From Pass X250,5 to 350,5 : what to expect? You need sufficient power for dynamics, but your speakers determine whether or not a certain number of watts is a lot or a little. More power tends to corrupt the signal with more wire, parts, and complexity - so if you have sensitive speakers wit... | |
| From Pass X250,5 to 350,5 : what to expect? Overbang, what speakers are you using? | |
| From Pass X250,5 to 350,5 : what to expect? If the circuit design is the same, which I think they are, I would think lower power always sounds better if it is sufficient power to drive your speakers in your room to the listening levels you want. There is a thread called "Power - Good or Bad... |
