Wilson Sofia 2 vs marten dajango L
They might have 2ohms taps but can they deliver big current?? An amp that "almost" doubles it’s wattage for each halving of impedance, is what’s needed to get the "very best" out of the bass of these hard to drive speakers. Sure amps that can’t do this sort of current will work, but you’ll never hear the bass for what it can really do. EG: This is the perfect non-existant amp that can do perfect current delivery, in practice they can never excatly double. 100w into 8ohms 200w " " 4ohms 400w " " 2ohms 800w " " 1ohm Cheers George |
Here is a well written link that describes the pros and cons of direct radiator driver design. http://www.nutshellhifi.com/library/speaker-design2.html Clearly, some people here are in need of some education. I will not stoop to labels like STUPID, as I don't regard anyone here on these forums in that way. I believe I can often learn a lot here on Audiogon but clearly, in this thread, there are several well meaning folks who might learn something interesting if they do choose to read further the above link. I am not saying Wilson Sophia are the best speakers in the world - just that in this particular comparison stated by the OP they will sound a lot better (for valid technical & audible reasons stated) |
