@gakerty thank you for that reminder. I will check the specs on each amp.
Then there were 2
OK I have 3 amps on my short list but one is not available due to supply chain issues.They are ARC Ref75SE, Rogue Stereo 100, (and not available is Quicksilver Mono KT/120)
Question sin it is down to the Rogue and ARC are the comparable (or as they say a coin flip?) or is one considerably better than the other.
I like the fact that the ARC use KT150 and the bias is accessible on front panel.

@yogiboy Are you sure the M120 is not available? Did Mike tell you that? http://quicksilveraudio.com/products/mono-120/ 90 days ago he was backordered with a backlog of customers. Not sure now, someone would need to ask him again for an update. I’ve had five different people unsolicited reach out asking me if I’d consider selling mine. Demand seems to be greater than supply at this time. They are worth the wait if you can. |
There are 2 woofer in each cabinet. The woofers themselves are 90db. but with 2 in parallel it is higher but I dont have exact measurements of efficiency. speakers are 4 ohm.@jimbones Tube amps do not double power as impedance is cut in half. That is why efficiency is a more useful spec than sensitivity when tube amps are involved. In this case, while sensitivity does increase, the efficiency remains the same. Since the total wattage of most any tube amp is lower into 4 ohms, I think you will find that you simply need more power. I would also consider putting the woofers in series rather than parallel. They will act the same in the enclosure although you'll have to change your crossover a bit. But a tube amp will thank you as it will make more power, have wider bandwidth (particularly in the bass) and make less distortion. |
