Otherwise, all that I can say is that, given Alberto Guerra's career in the industry and that of his principal decrier, I know whose opinion I would heed more.
OK, so at long last it appears that the LSA Voyager has finally dropped, so we will have another piece of equipment to squabble about. https://www.underwoodhifi.com/products/lsa-electronics Otherwise, all that I can say is that, given Alberto Guerra's career in the industry and that of his principal decrier, I know whose opinion I would heed more. |
given Alberto Guerra’s career in the industry From an interview with him about using empty 6550 tubes to house the GaN amplifier boards in. "Company founder Alberto Guerra admitted that he did it largely for the sake of visual aesthetics. Otherwise a class-D amp just looks like a box”You don’t have to be too smart to see the tube pins are going to be a problem with a bit of age on them, especially if being used with a speaker that demands a bit of juice sucked through those tube pins. (like I said you may as well have spring clip speaker terminals) |

I am leaning very strongly towards class D, not because I particularly am strongly musically influenced to do so, but from cost, convenience, and power consumption. I used to have a ton of class ab equipment, old hafler dh200s and the like that I built from kits and they sounded great. I started letting them run all the time so they didnt have to go thru the power cycle current inrush and I think its helped them last and be reliable, but holy mother they love electricity and my wallet didnt like the power bills. Then I realized that more power was a good thing and would save tweeters from premature death...So class D or H at a minimum is where I am going to have to go. That means upgrading the house wiring too...A single 15A circuit will never be enough with two high power subs, and 5 channels of high power audio. I think I am looking at needing 2 20amp circuits at a minimum and maybe 3 |
