@mastering92, thanks for your response. I got the idea of a fan after seeing a mom pushing her stroller with a portable fan with a wrap around stem. I thought well they make them small enough to wrap or clip into a stand so why not? And since i am retired i can pretty well listen when i chose to so it is not limited. As far as bass i have not measured the extent as you noted, just decent but not "window rattling," more of a natural bass.
Stuck point!
Hi,
I am returning to the experts to get an opinion. I sold my PS Audio M 700 mono blocks thinking I was ready to pull the trigger on the Wellsenton R800i. I know their are great similarities between some of the Line Magnetic amps. around the same price point of just under $3,000, almost identical except for tubes. So, their are options if I chose to go with another well known brand. Here are the issue/s.. I have a fairly small treated room and I keep hearing it will “heat the room up.” I don’t know if it will be problematic or an overstatement. Plus the issue of bass. It may not produce good base which is a problem since I loved the class D amps bass. Lastly, speaker sensitivity, most of my speakers have 87db and up except for the LS50’s. Thanks, don

@oldhvymec, I have also thought about using both valve and Class D or AB amps. and switching between them. Right not i only have the means for one or the other. So, i very well could wind up doing that just not on that timetable. I guess my biggest point in all this is, "do Class A valve amps produce so much heat that it makes the room uncomfortable." My Schiit Freya+'s aluminum top with 4 tubes gets pretty hot but i do not notice the heat externally. Plus, Individuals buy tube amps. all of the time is it because they only use large rooms and heat does not become a problem, much like a Plasma TV. I have a Plasma TV and the heat is not bothersome but people always commented on it. Is this the same case with Tube amps? |
Get one of these for the summer months. https://www.classdaudio.com/mini-gan-5-balanced-power-amplifier.html Then you can (almost) have your cake and eat it. Or have your kayak and heat it. |
@sebrof, what would a recommendation be in Class D-A or A/B in around the $3,000 mark? I know where a Parasound HINT 6 is for 2,000 and i have had a Parasound 5250 v2 i sold a few months back and replaced it with a NAD M28. Sound was pretty damn good but that was only because i had it connected to my NAD M17 in the home entertainment system. This would be for my desktop. Any ideas would be helpful.. |
