@newfzx7 +1 When Rocky Mountain AudioFest was running I was regularly visited by a group of local metal heads at that show. I would play something for them and they usually had some LP for me to hear as well. There was a reviewer who was also into metal who would also play faves of his in our room. Metal heads appreciate good sound like everyone else. |
@atmasphere , I am not saying that you did not have this experience; what I am saying is that 14 or 15 wpc of SET would not have done it for the metal heads I used to know. |
@immatthewj that would only be because they didn't have the right (more efficient) speakers to go with it. So that would also mean that someone into classical wouldn't be satisfied either unless they got more efficient speakers as well. |
@atmasphere and @newfzx7 . . . and apparently by some SET standards, 14 or 15 wpc is a lot, as I keep reading about some of Dennis Had’s new stuff making less than 5 wpc? I DEFINITELY don’t think that would satisfy the average metal head. |
@atmasphere , although I have tried, classical is not my thing; but if it was and I wanted to hear The William Tell Overture (I hope I got that right) at what was a satisfying level, I wouldn't be looking at low powered SET stuff. And I wouldn't be looking at the low powered SET stuff if I was into death metal either. And most of the posts from the metal guys that do post here, seem like they are into the big SS stuff. I am not saying that I don't think tubes can do metal, but I am saying that I don't think 15 wpc or less is going to do what the average metal guy wats it to do. |
