Also my B&W 801 Matrix V.2 were come to life. Although it kind of brought out the fact they probably need to have the crossovers changed out as they get kinda hard and lost at higher volumes.
I know I know it’s another bitch to drive speaker.
Focal’s heart grew three sizes that day
Picked up what I consider a deal on a Krell KSA200s a few days ago. I’ve never heard an amp be able to totally dominate a speaker like this! My low brow Focal 836w are not known for bass exactly. The definition and slam with this Krell is just crazy. Highs are super smooth and mids are tubeish. It just sounds like a much more substantial speaker. Great beast of an amp. My ears are normally uncomfortable at low 90 spl measured via iphone. I’m at 95-96 with no ear fatigue and doesn’t sound that loud. Guess my point is even an efficient ish speaker can benefit from some crazy warm clean power and these Focals even sound great with 50watt tubes. Obviously not at these high levels.
