    Cambridge audio Topaz SR10/20 or Yamaha RS700

    I wouldn't lose sleep over this. The power output delta between both amplifiers is unlikely to be more than 1 dB. The 100W (presumably continuous) speaker rating is a thermal spec, nothing more. Your speakers have a claimed 96 dB 2.83V sensitivity which means they need *very* little power to...

    Denon vs Integra AVR

    Me too. Just like isolating the "sound" of the amp independent from the "sound" of the speaker independent from the "sound" of the room. Also very funny.  ;D For instance, Klipsch can sound "extremely bright" and also "not extremely bright at all", while Denon can sound "warm" and yet also "not...

    Why have tweeters over 20,000hz ?

    Unless you are a placebophile. Then anything can be "heard" including, but not limited to, sunspots and solder. :)

    Cable burn-in test - yes it really is a fact

    A "test" consisting of a single trial and no control. This must be an extremely bastardized definition of "science" we are talking about here. :) A set of conditions are tested, then a new set of conditions (after "burn-in") tested 5 days later. We need at the very least a control without...

    Cable lifters- do they work?

    Perhaps you're right, but there is another possibility Jozua - your purely subjective perceptions, prone to human errors and psychogenic melodrama, caused the change. All perfectly normal. Since we're fishing, perhaps the static charges interacting with and modulating the induced magnetic...

    Power amp query

    All good, but you asked a terribly open-ended question that is impossible to answer effectively without more detailed information. Yes, no or maybe are all potentially correct answers. Not at all. If you supplied 200 watts to the speaker you would likely blow out your ear drums and possibly...

    Power amp query

    Depends on the speaker load, required/desired output levels, room size, seated distance, set up, etc. Lots of caveats involved. The use of subwoofers and bass management can mitigate "power hungry" load impedance "issues" that can pose potential problems for some AV receivers, so the need for...

    How you could Damage Hi Fi

    The act of using a low power amp on a high power speaker does not cause clipping. :) Clipping occurs when the amp tries to pull more voltage swing than the power rails can supply ie exceeding the limits. This can happen, but there is no guarantee that it will happen. Tweeters don't...

    Smartlifestyle - SVS subwoofers

    Greetings all, Hope everyone had an enjoyable holiday. Just an update regarding stock on the SB12 NSD - there are +- 40 units left. Once they are sold there will be no more SB12, only the SB2000. So if anyone wants/needs one (or two) at the current pricing please let me know before it's too late.

    PowerAmp reccommendation for Monitor Audio PL300

    Nope. The power handling rating is not a sound quality rating. All the power handling can tell you (sometimes unreliably, since those specs can be fudged, just like any other spec) is how much input power the speaker can accept before damage is likely to occur. Speakers generate more...
