| PLEASE match Advice Pass Labs X350.5 (20k) to Hovland HP-100 (2500ohms) Miss-match ??? If I go SS pre for max matching I have these 2 options for exact same very good price.

Thank you Jim Perry - very good idea and certainly makes sense - but I'm buying used because new and demos are so much more money and my recent speaker purchase has the old audio fund barrel down to scraping status - I wa... | |
| PLEASE match Advice Pass Labs X350.5 (20k) to Hovland HP-100 (2500ohms) Miss-match ??? OK - so I am committed to make the BAT work if you guys think it will. I emailed Nelson also.

| PLEASE match Advice Pass Labs X350.5 (20k) to Hovland HP-100 (2500ohms) Miss-match ??? I prob should have shared a bit more of the article. Into the Linn Klimax 500, for example, which has a low load impedance of 7.7k ohms, the BAT's response at 20Hz will be down 1.8dB compared with the level at 1kHz. That Jonathan still found the ... | |
| PLEASE match Advice Pass Labs X350.5 (20k) to Hovland HP-100 (2500ohms) Miss-match ??? Thanks guys Darn I was all set with the BAT until I read this: The BAT's input impedance measured a high 220k ohms, and its output impedance at 1kHz was 414 ohms from both sets of output jacks. This figure rose slightly to 422 ohms at 20kHz, whi... | |
| PLEASE match Advice Pass Labs X350.5 (20k) to Hovland HP-100 (2500ohms) Miss-match ??? Thanks guys - this is great stuff... I knew I would get great feedback from you guys.

| PLEASE match Advice Pass Labs X350.5 (20k) to Hovland HP-100 (2500ohms) Miss-match ??? I have a bit more info from Stereophile:They say someone with solid state amps with input impedance of under 10k ohms this will not be a good match (see below) but my Pass Labs X350.5 has a 20k ohm impedance. So it is double what they say I should... | |

| Magico S5 vs KEF Blade 2 vs TAD Evo One vs YG Kipod II Sig w/pwr bass I know - I'm worried no doubt. I've thought of horns for sure - it's the only speaker where my wife was like - really - are you serious - those are the stupidest looking things I've ever seen / shes not an Audiophile at all but supports me in the ... |
