Don’t know anything about a Paavo amp??? but having the option of switching amps, especially to a good quality soft-clipping tube amp, should help troubleshoot at minimum with those speakers I suspect. Those speakers are speced at 4 ohms though so that could make them a somewhat challenging load for many amps.
Ears hurt when listening after changing speakers
For years I had multiple models of Maggies and Martin Logan speakers. I could play them very loud with no problems with my ears. A few months ago I purchased the Rockport Aviors and now when I listen at moderate to high levels my ears start to hurt. Anyone one else experience this when changing speakers and would like thoughts on how to resolve other than turning the volume down. I do love the Rockport.

The Rockport loudspeakers have a much greater top end extension than the Martin Logan's Martin Logans like most electrostatic loudspeakers have a polite top end with a much greater fullness in the midrange. A warmer dac or changing cables might help, the Rockports are a very revealing loudspeaker. What is the rest of your system? Dave and Troy Audio Doctor NJ |
teo_audio reduction in spl vs seating distance is almost perfectly linear with panel speakers and is almost exponential with point source speakers.Huh? How can that possibly be? Have you actually measured this? Also, there are panel speakers that are also point sources, so how does that factor into your equation? |
