Ross,
I imagine you're very happy with that amplifier.

Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225
Charles, Almarg, my audio go-to guys, lol: i am obviously still running the phono in my marantz 7701 pre amp (until I get the Zp3). I have pulled my sub from my room and am enjoying pure 2 channel without it. I still have the marantz programmed with subwoofer ON with the crossover at 40Hz, and my cornwalls set to large. Even with no sub hooked up to the marantz, will it still be cutting the Hz off to my mains at that 40 mark? A simple question,and figuring you’ve both been so helpful and not knowing where else to ask, I figured I’d ask you guys. i will pull the marantz and hook it to the living room tv as a monitor, to disable the sub if so. Thanks! |
Yes I am happy with the P845se. I heard integrated version of the amp several years ago and was very impressed. I found a great deal recently and jumped on it. Foreknowledge of a hidden relationship with Line Magnetic or front door/back door production would not have changed my decision. SE triode beauty, with great frequency extension, and surprising power for 20wpc. |
Hi Jkull, Regarding your question above about the 7701, as you've no doubt seen it has a bewildering array of possible settings in its menus. After skimming through the manual, which can be found here under "downloads," I believe that in addition to the "Large" setting you mentioned, it would be best to select "Pure Direct" mode. Although the unit's display is apparently turned off in that mode, that will disable a number of functions and settings that could compromise the sound if not set appropriately, and is claimed to provide the best audio quality. And while I'm not 100% certain I believe that will assure that a full-range signal is provided to the LM amplifier. Regards, -- Al |
