In the Thread: How to get a LOT of SET power.
Post Subject: Does not make sense to me.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 8/27/2023
I think it is a perfectly legitimate amp. The
claim of bandwidth is obviously a marketing BS. Also, I am a bit skeptical of if
a pair of 6N6P might deliver significant current to drive GM100 in
negative side curve and deal with plate current. They have a second mode what
the amp gives 60 watts and I think it is what it truly can do in A1 but I do
not want to look into it deeper. The key to all of it would be why the hell we
ever need power amp to drive speakers’ full range? With any non-electrostatic speakers,
we need 10-20W to drive HF and we do need a lot of power to drive the woofers. This
is what DSET architecture is all about. My wondering about a powerful set would
be to have >100W amps that will be optimized for LF only with huge size full
of induction transformer and high current gap. THAT is what I would like to
hear. A powerful SET with objectives to deliver over 100W full range is severely
compromised at the level of requirements. If you look online and see the user
or demo of the amp then you will see ported speakers with 10-12 inch woofers
and very proud owners. I think from a playback architecture point of view it is
not reasonable.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
