I am done with this particular conversationDitto, there’s no reasoning with Klipsch Lascala owners, beaten only by JBL owners.
Remember I owned them, and the Forte, the Forte were a far more musical speaker, but still colored and midfi.
new GAN amplifier
LSA Voyager GAN 200.

200w into 8 ohms
400w into 4 ohms
???w into 2 ohms
because the speakers also have to be least colored most dynamic you can get, unfortunately that usually means they’re hard to drive.This statement is false. Less efficient speakers also tend to be less dynamic due to voice coil heating. A secondary reason is the harder any amplifier is made to work to drive a speaker, the more distortion it makes- which is audible as reduced detail and increased harshness. |
Less efficient speakers also tend to be less dynamic due to voice coil heating.This statement is more false, as the drivers are built far more exactly to meet their operational parameters A secondary reason is the harder any amplifier is made to work to drive a speaker, the more distortion it makesThis statement is even more false, as the purpose built amps that can double their wattage’s down to 2ohm and that can drive them and have far less distortions than your OTL's, you are just in product protection mode because OTL’s can only drive certain speakers without distorting and those speakers usually have far more coloration/distortions as well. |

To say your OTL’s can drive the Wilson Alexia!!!!. is just so ?? words fail me. One of the hardest speakers ever to drive correctly, yet one of the most accurate that I and others have ever heard, when driven with amps with big current that can do them justice. |
