His McIntosh amp retails for R117K and has a peak output current of +- 60 amps - I highly doubt "quality" (or quantity) is a limiting factor in this case.

If the only evidence indicating inadequate amplification is a feeling then I think your concerns are probably unwarranted. The MC302 is not a feather weight in the performance department - it should be able to drive the PL300 with ease. Bear in mind, you compared two different speakers likely...

Thanks Mark! Glad you're happy so far.  :thumbs:

Audible differences can arise if the amplifier is clipping which is most likely to occur if it tries to source more voltage or current (usually voltage) than it was designed to. Note, "can" so listener/amp/speaker dependent, with caveats. If, based on seated distance/room size, listening...

Deepest condolences Judy.

The SB12.

Morning to all, The SB2000 replaces the SB12 NSD, but the goods news is that our suppliers have a good deal of stock left. Roughly the same performance, but far, far less expensive. We are selling them for R9900 inc each. At that price point, in terms of clean output and deep bass...

His first port of call should be to determine if there are audible signs of a problem that would warrant the use of a power amp. "Sounds great in stereo", pretty much sums it up. If his music sounded compressed on brief peaks or worse, continuously, then that would certainly warrant further...

Both. If you are using the preout jack on your receiver then you must obtain a Y-splitter to connect both left and right inputs at the back of the sub. Try that out, then report back.

Morning guys, Still have some Qacoustic stock left : Qacoustic Concept 20 : R3900 inc vat (1 pair left in black) Qacoustic Concept 20 : R3900 inc vat (3 pairs left in white) Qacoustic 7000i package (5.0) = R7990 inc (3 systems left in white) Qacoustic 7000i package (5.0) = R7990 inc (1 system...

People say the darnedest things. Near-field (+-1 meter or closer), listening at 80 dB peak SPL (note - sitting next to the speaker, this can sound pretty loud) you likely won't even be using 1W irrespective of the amps potential. :roll:

Morning guys, We are the new dealers for SVS subwoofers.  :D Have always been in love with SVS, ever since I imported the SVS PB10 ISD - about 8 years ago. We will be handling SVS in Cape Town. Pricing : *SVS SB1000 - R11990 inc *SVS PB1000 - R14990 inc *SVS SB2000 - R16990 inc *SVS...

It's an audiophile term used to precipitate the adventures of perpetual spending? :winkwink: The adventure entails trying buying a near-endless combination of ancillary gear, analogous to playing around with a Rubik's Cube, until one unlocks/experiences a state of mind or bliss (both?). Sounds...

Sure, because the equipment under test lacked "resolving power", or the listener did not spend hours, weeks, months staring/peeking at the equipment, or were trained to hear vibrational effects, not feeling well, sore throat, not enough "synergy", etc.  :'( Don't always be so dismissive, Johan...

Psychogenic improvement due to seeing, knowing, expecting, etc, priori knowledge of swapping, shifting of ear position in the soundfield from getting up/sitting back down to "listen", what you read online, what the friend said/wife "heard" etc. What matters is that you experienced an...

I found the lecture to be enjoyable and informative, summarising the answers to many questions that have been raised in the past, and some generally useful information.  :) The scope of the lecture covers the following : *What is sound (re)production? *The lies of marketing *Subjective vs...

Correct, the differences are 'vast and easy' to delineate usually after long term peeking. Failing that, the speakers obviously lacked sufficient 'resolution', or the amps lacked 'resolution' and of course, blinding the comparison made the listeners deaf, etc. Silly? Using heavily cherry...

Assuming one was only listening as opposed to ... peeking with apriori knowledge of the cable, apriori knowledge of the swapping, etc. We know some audiophiles need to peek in order to listen effectively.  :thumbs: FIFY. Unfortunately there are no independently done audibility reports or...

Hi guys, The new Bronze series is here. If you want a great deal on the new range then please contact me via email or PM.

LOL.
