![]() To begin, I was amazed by the sound of the QSC GX3 and the. In both cases, immediately tear their fucking nuts off, and eat them with some Szechuan Sauce. ” If a Hifi salesperson says that, they either don’t know what they’re talking about and don’t bother to check, or they’re lying to you. Don’t ever listen to anyone who says “You can’t use the Mojo as a preamp. Thank God for Amazon Prime.Īll these amps were fed directly from the headphone outs on my Chord Mojo. Well, since then a few toys have arrived via Amazon Prime. 7’s, I ran to Guitar Center and picked up a QSC GX3, a high wattage, high efficiency amplifier designed for DJ gigs where SPL matters more than THD+N. I wish Vivid Audio might make an in-wall speaker someday with their driver/absorbers.Ī few days ago, without a single amplifier to power my freshly built Magnepan. I want near unlimited headroom and for the speaker to maintain linearity across all amplitudes and frequencies. My current favorite is the ATC SCM150ASL No reason, just like the looks and sound on a random YouTube video I watched. But I think if you’re spending $10k on speakers, it’s worth. ![]() Of course, building a new wall just for your in-wall speakers is asking a bit much. Infinite baffles have immense benefits in the lower end. Also, as far as “ultimate sound” goes, I am now into soffit-mounting studio monitors. Get a pair of those, and a Magnepan 3.7 and that might make for a fun time. Emotiva just came out with a $700 600W 20lb monoblock. If I were to get maggies again, I’d get the 3.7, and I’d feed it with the most powerful amp I could afford, and able to move by myself, into <4ohm. I one time got to audition, and enjoyed listening to the Magnepan 3.7 (not the. ![]() I still don’t understand how power supply affects sound, but I know this. The best speakers I know of now are the Kii Audio Three, Dutch & Dutch 8c, Synergy/Unity Horns, Vivid Audio Giya G3, JBL M2/4367, Geddes NS-15.Įdit 20201110: One thing I didn’t consider in this is power supply. I now have the LX Mini, which is much less head-in-a-vice, but I am looking elsewhere. They beam hard and I also don’t believe in a driver technology that involves a tightly stretched sheet of plastic over a frame. I just want to preface this by saying that I eventually sold the maggies. I’m still chasing this imaginary ideal that I thought I heard when I demoed the JBL 2360B: ultra crisp, fast, clear, coherent… they were unlimited in dynamics and faster than light, especially at low volumes.Įdit 20200923: A lot of people visit this page. Roy Delgado of Klipsch also has dropped hints that Klipsch speakers are designed with amplitude bandwith in mind (both low and high level linearity, and everything in between) Modern designs like Avant Garde with kugelwellen horns I am iffy about. Maybe someday, or maybe if a used one appears locally. I am still on the hunt for a full-range horn, like the Klipsch La Scala and Klipschorn, but am not willing to pay today’s new prices. Speakers I’m into nowadays, in addition to the Giya G2, are horns/vintage horns, mostly vintage Altecs like the A7 and Valencia. I also suspect horns to perform well in this manner. ![]() ![]() The only speakers I have seen measurements for (SoundStage) that perform well for are the Vivid Audio Giya G2. While my thoughts are not fully matured on what low-level linearity means, for sure, as published by SoundStage Network, many speakers, even very expensive ones, fail to maintain a fixed frequency response the louder they play. Notice that very few, if any, manufacturers publish data on amplitude linearity. Edit 20200923: I think I was right about the maggies and dynamic range compression. ![]()
