| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load Hi atmasphere,I have been thinking about what you wrote earlier in this thread:"...all amplifiers regardless of technology have higher distortion into 2 ohms which is audible as increased brightness and harshness. You can see this in the specs (if... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load Hi Noble100,I have looked at Merrill Veritas amps but am not quite ready to part with my CJ preamp🤔.Thanks for listening,Dsper | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load joysjane,I do not know what more to say about the ST1000. I read great things about the amp before I bought mine.The ST1000 played loud but was lacking in dynamics and sounded bland. I was astonished how much better the Maggie's and Thiels sounded... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load Hi joysjane, FWIW as it might not be the same animal, I have a five year old W4S ST1000 and it could play Maggie 3.6's loud but with no control of the bass.It had trouble with Thiel CS3.6's and was a joke with the CS5's.In my set-up, a Coda CS (30... | |

| Correct Way to Invert Phase Hi,I appreciate all of the input.It confirms the correct way to invert phase is with the speaker wires.I will continue on that track. Thanks for listening,Scott | |
| New to the two channel world - Advice needed on preamp Hi theaudioninga,I would read some other threads about preamps to learn more.In the meantime, I would audition or purchase an older, used preamp from, say, Conrad Johnson or Audio Research. You have to start somewhere and this would give you a gen... | |
| A moderate priced dac Try a Theta ProBasic III. Old school R2R ladder DAC. Was like $2000 back in the day and I got mine for $500 plus shipping. "Product Details/Highlights...When it was introduced, the DS Pro set the standard for digital playback, making it into Class... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load This just gets more interesting.I emailed, to both Nord and Appollon, the Stereophile measurements for the Thiel CS5's and both suppliers said that their amps would drive them.For example, Appollon replied that their NC1200SL HYPEX NC1200 BASED AM... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load FWIW, I went to the Purifi Audio website and found many charts and specifications for their 1ET400A, most of which I did not understand so I could have very well missed something important about relationships between the stats they quoted.I did ... | |
| Thiel Owners tomthiel,Could you please elaborate on what makes the CS5i a better speaker than the CS5?Thanks, Dsper | |
| Thiel Owners ovinewar,Perhaps Ovation is no longer what you might remember. In my opinion, Audio Solutions is the better store in terms of brands carried and an immense inventory of used gear. I got my Maggies from Ovation but after that I really have not shop... | |
| Thiel Owners "Looking for CS5 suggestions."I have CS5's and live in the greater Indianapolis area. Audio Solutions would lend me used gear home for in home auditions, which were on a 15 amp circuit. I tried Krell, Pass, and Mark Levinson, among others, all of ... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load OKAY......This is the OP again...it sounds like I am hearing Class D might not be the best for tough, low impedance load speakers.If that is indeed the case, why is this and what has to change in Class D design to achieve it? Please respond realiz... | |
| can someone answer me this..... I think checking the tubes is the first easy thing to consider or just buy some Gold Lion 6922's on eBay.I have a DNA-500, and with my Conrad Johnson 17LS2, the sound is thin at the bottom end; so I went back to my PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium.Howev... |
