Loudspeaker efficiency 101:

Less efficient loudspeakers tend to have more voice coil heating and so are more compressed than loudspeakers of higher efficiency:

-and on and on. This is simply not a matter of debate. As you can see from these and similar related documents, all loudspeakers have voice coil heating as their actual efficiency is rather low. You get less voice coil heating if the driver is more efficient. This results in less compression. Now you might think that you can just throw more power at a lower efficiency speaker to deal with this, but this results in more heating- exacerbating the compression effect.

The only thing you two are succeeding in doing, is keeping this post recent until someone adds something useful.

Totally agree.

This is simply not a matter of debate.

Keep believing this in the "wrong context you are saying it in" and your cred will suffer for hiend audio, just like your statement.

    atmasphere   Our OTLs do a nice job on the Alexia

Given that you have been and are repeatedly misusing the term EPDR, I am not sure how you can make a definitive statement about the OTLs.

So you believe the atmasphere statement, that his OTL’s can do a nice job of driving the Wilson Alexia’s as well?? also delusional🤦‍♂️
Give it up you two, looks like your colluding, maybe your his new Class-D partner? Like tweak is with ricevs.

Gfi,

I know I am not, and never have been, anything more than a customer to Ricevs.

Aside from his correcting my error in saying the EVS has no fuses, the only times I have heard from him were to ask about when I will receive the GaN, and to prep me for his newest ’upgrade’. the PPT cards, which he says blows away the cubes that I was forced to buy or I would not get the amp

That you would continue to make that accusation, for me at least, calls anything you say into question

Reader beware of Gfi, the thread destroyer
