Well said @ellajeanelle. As a 62 year old man I still love the punch and slam of powerful bass. Cello, tympanies, string bass, lower octaves on the piano all demand a lot from my rig. Ditto for Rammstein's Du Hast Nich. Without slam it's just not as fun- and music should be fun. In fact I think I'll take Mahler's Appalachian Spring off my que and crank out some Benny Basssini loud enough for certain grumpy old farts to get offended. After that perhaps some Scorpions followed by a shot of Ted Nugent- like you said: Because I can. :)
First Bi Amping Experience
I just puchased a pair of Legacy Signature Se speakers. Am pushing them with my Coda CSIB . I am loving them. Was reading about bi amping for a while. Started looking for a comparable amp to run off my preamp outputs. Was not having much luck finding one in that power range that was in my current budget. Then I thought of how I run my home theater rig with a Crown pro amp. Did a little research and found the Crown XLi series of amps are a Class AB design. I got the biggest one they make and just hooked it up. I know pro equipment gets a bad rap sometimes but this really sounds good.

yesiam_a_pirate I think we're on the same wavelength. Saw Scorpions and Ted Nugent myself more than once! Sometimes It's just not right until it literally rattles your eyeballs and your soul 😉 |
@carlsbad2 , .....Here are a couple of tracks. I am curious to know a) What db level would be measured at your listening position if you listened to these tracks/this type of music b) How far is your listening position from the speakers? c) How sensitive are your speakers and lowest impedance dip d) Are subwoofers deployed?

yesiam_a_pirate And the experience only gets better when the current draw of the amplifiers causes all the lights in the house to dim with the beat-lol!😍 |
Cool. A thread about Legacy Audio speakers and Metal in one place. Two things very dear to my heart. I too use far more than 2-3 watts of power when I feel like unwinding after a long day’s work. @yesiam_a_pirate the best song on Rammstein’s Sehnsucht is ’Spiel mit mir’. Crank that one up to 11. Probably the best Thrash guitar tone I’ve heard post-80s/90s. |
