Are you referring to room response?
No the specifics of your speaker.
And yes most of us realize Threshold manufactured high Current amps
but thats not the question.
Threshold Stasis S/150
I am considering purchasing the S/150 to drive the Vandersteen 2ci. Do you think the S/150 is enough to drive the 2ci? What I have heard is that the first 30 watts is in Class A mode. Thanks

I believe the efficiency of those speakers is 88 db for 1 watt at 1 meter. Not the most efficient. I ran a Threshold Cas2 with Linn Kan II (85 db efficiency) and loved the sound. I have to admit the Cas2 has the longest warm up period I have ever experienced. Sounded great in 15 minutes but an hour or so in, it goes to superb. I'm guessing the mid and high will be excellent but the bass might not be as fully driven. I'd probably pull the trigger, especially if it was priced sweetly. |
@highend64 not validated, worth re-checking, have these notes on the Vandersteen 2CI Spec: ¾ inch aluminum dome tweeter, 4 ½ “ plastic cone midrange, 8” cone woofer, and a 10” active cone radiator that handles frequencies below 35 Hz. Fequency response is 28 Hz - 20.125 kHz at + or - 3db. Its impedance is at 7 ohms nominal and 5 ohms minimum, efficiency 88db for 1 watt at one meter. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AMP: Threshold alternative, Forte’ 1a, or Forte’ Model 3, upgraded and converted: My Pass/Forte’ Model amp is recently reconfigured to Forte’ 1a, pure Class A 50 watts now. Voltage down, bias up. Has four new 30kuf big power caps, large Torroid transformer, new bridge rectifiers, Cardas binding posts, spade connectors removed. All soldered. Not lean at all, very musical, more grunt, 47c, runs Warm at heat sinks. It’s a giant killer now. Will drive your 2ci, no issues, all goodness :)
