Post Subject: Driving The LoudspeakersPosted by Paul S on: 10/13/2023
I guess it’s time to talk about these amps in terms of The
Loudspeakers. In truth, I thought of these amps from the first time I thought
about The Loudspeakers, to the point where I “built and tested” The
Loudspeakers with these amps in my head before I so much as ordered any speaker
parts. I already admitted that I was grateful (rather than surprised) when the
MA 9S2s proved such a good match for The Loudspeakers, because, although I was
not certain of a good match, I would not have gone forward with the project at
all unless I +/- expected acceptable
results. I never expected ULF from The Loudspeakers, so I still cannot speak to
this in terms of the amps’ capabilities. Fair to say, I think, not many amps
can get serious Music from an 18” woofer. And I suspect the MA 9S2s could do
“good ULF” with the right subs. I can say that The Loudspeakers driven by these
amps are at least as Musical as any “4 box” speaker system I have ever heard,
meaning 2 speakers and 2 amps. “Full Range Speakers” might be a pipe dream, but
these amps have allowed me to get pretty close, and it is hard for me to talk
about my version of The Loudspeakers without including these amps in the
discussion.>>
