| The most dynamic & transparent bookshelf Sorry, you're missing the point of my post. The Wharfedale Jade 3 will NOT likely play as loud as the Denton, and NOT a speaker you should consider. The Aon 3 at 90db sensitivity is a much better choice for being able to play loud. | |
| The most dynamic & transparent bookshelf Stereophile measurements in the review of the Wharfedale Jade 3 list the sensitivity at 83.5db, which is 2.5db lower than your Denton. This will make the issue of wanting a very loud volume more difficult. | |
| Bowers and Wilkins B&W 705 speakers_questions. The absolute perfect match for a center is a single 705. Next choice is the HTM7, which was designed as the timbre matching center for the 700 series. Since you say you are patient and have a decent matching center, it makes no sense to waste time... | |
| The King is dead, Long Live the King My son and I met him at a concert, and my son, like others there, had a guitar for him to sign. Only problem was my sons' was a Fender. BB gave him a hard time about the Fender in fun, but did sign it. He was truly a class act.RIP | |
| how to wire up speakers ...?? Steve, as Zd said, that's just single wire with jumpers of the same wire. As far as whether or not to use connectors, I agree with the comments posted by Buscis2 in this Audiogon thread, especially the quotes from Nelson Pass. | |
| The most dynamic & transparent bookshelf Actually I can buy higher power model, which will double the powers, but do you think the Denton will work under so much power, can enlighten me? Also is Denton need so much power like 300 watts?NO, you cannot use a higher power amp with the Dento... | |
| The most dynamic & transparent bookshelf Something like that can only be true if all other factors are equal. Things like impedance curve, type of xover used, driver size, ported or non ported bass, room placement, etc will all work the amp differently even though the sensitivity specs a... | |
| The most dynamic & transparent bookshelf Yes Zd, you missed the OP's speakers, and it appears you're missing even more. I never said you need 10x power for a 3db increase in volume. To achieve a 3db increase in volume, you either double amp power or increase speaker sensitivity by 3db. T... | |
| The most dynamic & transparent bookshelf The only point of yours that I would mention is that instead of getting more efficient speakers, you can get a more powerful amp. Yes, I know the OP already has one, but given his demands, he may have to modify his approach. Look at this once more... | |
| The most dynamic & transparent bookshelf Power amp specs can't be trusted. For example,OK Zd542, you're preaching to the choir. I worked in the A/V industry for over 20 years, mostly with high end audio, and have always used quality amps like Threshold, Pass, etc. I am fully aware of wha... | |
| The most dynamic & transparent bookshelf For the most part, I agree. But you still have to like the speakers.Zd542, no doubt that is true, but the speaker must provide the total package. I once owned a pair of speakers, and loved everything about them except that due to their low sensiti... | |
| The most dynamic & transparent bookshelf Sorry Mapman, your comments are confusing to me. The sensitivity spec can be deceptive, however, nothing to do with frequency since it is measured using a 1K Hz test tone at a distance of 1M. The deceptive part can be due to impedance of the speak... | |
| The most dynamic & transparent bookshelf It's not possible to come up with that kind of detail from specs.Agree, however, since very loud and dynamic at loud volume are very important, you should be concerned with speaker sensitivity. If the Wharfedale Denton at 86db was not adequate, th... | |
