| Sanders Magtech Amp or Bryston 4B-SST2 4 Mags 3.6 "If I owned any electrostatic speakers I wouldn't hesitate in getting an amplifier designed by one of the premier electrostatic designers of our time "If so then you must consider Spectron Audio Musician III amplifier. It has been designed by John... | |
| Congested sound - more power or resolution? Dmurfet,I have owned Watt/Puppy 8 and now own Sasha i.e. similar speakers tnat you have and I have had similar problem to that you described.Now question that good electrical supply will improve the performance of your system, I believe its a give... | |
| Bel Canto Ref 1000MK2 or Wyred SX1000MK2 " Spectron-Police, in the house!!"Macdadtexas, you really think that you can place Spectron amps in the category "below average" and not to be asked about quality of your system or your perception of "bright" sound ????I can undertsand that one ca... | |
| Amp s choices to match with Wilson Sophias ? "I auditioned the Sasha's with xxx amps...sounded incredible/fantastic "I have nothing but praise for Ayre and Electrocompaniet amps however, to really test how any given amplifier match the speakers of interest I firmly believe that you need to l... | |
| PASS LABS X250 Question Hello Al,I meant +/-100 volts... I took this number from Spectron web site:"...in reality an amplifier's voltage headroom is limited by the power supply voltage, which limits the peak voltage. Spectron's amplifiers are the highest voltage we know ... | |
| PASS LABS X250 Question Hello Al,I stand corrected.Interesting that since 26 dB is equivalent to x20 then the rms voltage is 2.24 x 20 -45 volts and then as per your definitions, maximum output voltage [ = sqrt(2) x V(rms) ] = 65 volts.If so this amp (200.5) would clip e... | |
| PASS LABS X250 Question I agree that X250 can easy output 400 watts rms into the load of 4 Ohms.I disagree with the calculation of the sensitivity. Almarg use relation between rms and peak in ....sinusoidal waveform which is not the case here.I cannot calculate exactly b... | |
| Amp s choices to match with Wilson Sophias ? I owned WATT/Puppy 8 which I very recently upgarded to Sasha. Both these speakers are also by David Wilson.I search for right amplifiers for a long time, mostly among muscle powerful class A amps.I ended up with pair of Musician III by Spectron Au... | |
| Preamp to mate with Pass 30.5 Hello Rabbani,Its the best to call Joule-Electra directly; they may have some demo or "B" stuff...you never know unless you ask. | |
| NuForce vs Bel Canto "Have you listened to any other Class D amps than the Spectrons? "Hello Claudle.No, when I was shopping for new amp (I had McIntosh 2102 100wpc tube amp and I feel I need more power and finesse for my - at that time - WATT/Puppy 8) I was searching... | |
| NuForce vs Bel Canto If NuForce REF 18 cost $7.6k per pair then I much prefer that I have: two Spectrons running as fully balanced monoblocks - also about $7.7k Spectrons run my "Sasha" by Wilson absolutely effortessly, much better then during my audition at dealer wi... | |
| Preamp to mate with Pass 30.5 My Joule-Electra LA-300ME is absolutely silent. Plus you can have unity gain with it.Regarding somebody's complain that J-E (what model?) is too smooth so its boring - it could or could not be with LA-150 and very early LA-300. Now, LA-300/450 hav... | |
| Negative Feedback a deal killer? "...SMPS supplies are line and load regulated while linear supplies aren't. Linear supplies require a lot of capacitors to keep voltage steady and filter out 120Hz. They are also noisy since switching is done in audible frequency at max voltage. L... | |
| Do Spectron Amps have faulty switching modulators? I own two monoblocks for a few years now (one was purchased used) and I never had any problem. I enjoy immensely these amps (w/Joule-Electra preamp) driving my new power hungry Sasha by Wilson.I am sure that some amplifiers failed here and there -... | |
| BAT VK-600 vs Pass XA100.5 "The Joule LA450 seems very interesting, but without a home demo, I am unlikely to take the plunge. " Hello Rtn1, When I was buying my LA-300 (to match Spectrons and Watt/Puppy 8) I been told by Simon Thacher that I have 30 days money back guarant... |
