| New Adcom 👀585 SE. anybody heard this monster Al, that’s what I thought originally as well, but I was correct by erik squires. It’s not half impedance, it’s actually quarter impedance.If you look at Parasound A21 specs:250 watts x 2 into 8 ohm400 watts x 2 into 4 ohm750 watts x 1 into 8 ohm (... | |
| Would you get a pair of B&W 804 d3 ? @dweller - I recently upgraded from 805 D2 to a set of 805 D3. I actually found a significant increase in bass and midbass response. That being said, a good amount of bass in a speaker is due to the power of the amplifier and the type/number of ... | |
| New Adcom 👀585 SE. anybody heard this monster The problem with bridging stereo amps is, if the speaker load is 8 ohms, then each channel sees a 2 ohm load when operating in bridged mode. Which is okay if the speaker really is 8 ohms. If it drops down to 4 ohms in certain areas, then each ch... | |
| New Adcom 👀585 SE. anybody heard this monster Be aware that running a stereo amp like this in bridge mode requires very high impedance speaker (such as 8 ohm speakers). Also, even though an speaker can be listed at 8 ohm, it can drop down very low to 3-4 ohm. This would not be a good thing ... | |
| Is dedicated PreAmp with Oppo 105 needed? For education, the Krell S1200 can do lossless decoding and playing of the following audio formats, but only over HDMI (which is fine since you're using Oppo 105 as a source):- DTS-HD MA (bluray)- Dolby TrueHD (bluray)- Dolby Digital Plus (such as... | |
| Is dedicated PreAmp with Oppo 105 needed? Sorry to go on and on in this.  There are actually a couple of S1200U 3D models up for sale on usaudiomart for $2800. Wow! low price, actually. In most cases I agree with atmasphere's comment that a separate 2-channel preamp will be better (in ... | |
| Is dedicated PreAmp with Oppo 105 needed? Oh, if you plan to use Krell 1200 for video, look for a "S1200U 3D" model. This is the last version they made and has the latest HDMI video board. | |
| Is dedicated PreAmp with Oppo 105 needed? If you do the power supply capacitor mods I will describe, I think the S1200 will be superior over any other multi-channel preamp/processor. And yes, you can connect XLR/RCA analog audio directly to S1200 as well. The S1200 uses fully discrete... | |
| Prize or turkey? MC202 There's an MC205 up for sale for $3750. For a MC202, maybe try $1995? | |
| Krell KSA100 vs Threshold 400A vs McCormack DNA 0.5 Hello all who are recommending McCormack amps. From what I have heard, the DNA is a very high resolution and detailed amp. I would agree that this is an excellent piece. However, if you guys read legarem's request, he "hates over detailed sound... | |
| Is dedicated PreAmp with Oppo 105 needed? Toslink interface is BAD BAD BAD. Don't use it unless you absolutely have to. Digital COAX is always superior for any digital audio.That being said, the Krell S1200 is a great preamp/processor, but only if you mod the power supply by soldering i... | |
| Best connectors for XLR cables If these are used as digital cables, then you actually want as much silver as possible. In my opinion, digital cables are the only scenario where silver really is a benefit. For analog audio, I prefer pure copper and rhodium plating. It's much ... | |
| Revel F35 vs Klipsch Heresy II or maybe III I wouldn't say "unique" as in very different. I was trying to convey that the Klipsh horn based speakers have a different sonic signature than the conventional metal dome tweeter type like the Revel. The Klipsch are definitely very lively soundi... | |
| Revel F35 vs Klipsch Heresy II or maybe III Wow, those are completely different speakers. The Revel is a very detailed and high resolution speaker. I would avoid the Emotiva amp with this one, as the Revel is not a forgiving speaker. The Parasound A21 or higher would be excellent for det... | |
| Krell KSA100 vs Threshold 400A vs McCormack DNA 0.5 Seems like a typical price for KSA 100 (gen 1) is about $800-900 used. Figure $300-400 for the main power supply caps plus labor, so $1200 is probably a good price. |
