| "Power hungry" speakers El: active crossovers betweem preamp and amps, not passive. Sean> | |
| Bridge Robertson 4010 Question? For those interested, the 4010 is not recommended for bridged operation. Sean> | |
| "Power hungry" speakers El: My main system is actively crossed. No capacitors between amp and speakers other than the speaker cables themselves. My Brother's system was previously quad-amped using passive networks a while back. He is now actively crossed and the passive ... | |
| Bridge Robertson 4010 Question? I agree that the 6010 is a very nice sounding amp. It is slightly lean sounding but other than that, i love it. I've got a copy of the 4010 manual. If you want, i can make a copy and drop it into the mail. I don't know if it is bridgeable, but i c... | |
| Your favourite recordings that everyone else hates Zaikes: Ross is no longer with Manowar. I know that they've put out at least one ( probably more ) LP's without him now. Sean> | |
| "Power hungry" speakers Start looking at bass transients into low sensitivity and / or low impedance and / or highly reactive loads and you need hundreds upon hundreds of watts. Combining all of the above will mean that you need a MONSTER sized amp to do the job right. T... | |
| "Power hungry" speakers Capacitors have varying levels of dielectric absorption and thermal losses as frequency is varied. Their transfer characteristics ( linearity ) can be measured and compared over a given frequency range. None of this is new technology and studying ... | |
| How do you determine how much to spend on speakers Dr Diamond: Regardless of how Dave Wilson was able to "beat" the mega-dollar system, the fact that he did so says a lot about what one can do with a little bit of money and a lot of know-how when it comes to electronics. I've been trying to stress... | |
| "Power hungry" speakers I'm not familiar with Sonus designs at all. The only thing that i can think of is tonal balance. A speaker with a very laid back or semi-sunken response will never sound as "loud" as a speaker with a more forward ( or even "flatter" ) response. Fr... | |
| "Power hungry" speakers Bemopti: Right on. The more complex the crossover, the more "power hungry" the speakers will be. Not only are such designs "sucking up power", they are "eating signal" at the expense of losing micro-dynamics and detail. After all, there wouldn't b... | |
| Current Trends in multi thousand dollar speakers Ernie said: "Your posts are voluminous and helpful in reciting the liturgy, but in so doing sometimes mask objectivity. We know what we hear...and how it measured."I guess that this is why "audio" will remain subjective forever. I know what i hear... | |
| Favorite SS Amp? Sounds like Phoenix isn't "hurting" for good sound or high quality brands : ) Sean> | |
| Review: Stanton 500E MkII Cartridge Your reviews are always interesting and informative. You do a very nice job of including pertinent info, making comparisons and the fact that you include a picture is icing on the cake. Keep up the good work. As far as the Stanton goes, if it is a... | |
| What is the difference in CD transports? Logic would dictate that using a common reference clock for the transport and DAC would improve performance. Has anybody ever thought about finding a quality transport & DAC and using one lab grade ( like HP, etc... ) external clock for both o... | |
| Favorite SS Amp? I would have to agree with Driver. That is, Pass and Ayre products have a lot of potential when mated with other appropriate gear. Having said that, one has to wonder why he's selling the Ayre? Sean> |
