Post Subject: placette into S2...Posted by cv on: 7/14/2007
Hi Paul,
My understanding is that the placette has a unity gain buffer. At full CD ouput levels of 2Vrms into an S2 - it wouldn't quite get that into the S2s 16 ohms - but say it did, you'd be looking at about 109db from a pair...
I'm not saying it would or wouldn't sound good, it's just me being curious given that Melquiades is losing an output stage...
The point is you don't really need any gain from the amp when driving such high sensitivity. You might successfully construct an OTL using just a 6C33 with no other stages... anyway, I'm taking things off-topic for this thread so please excuse me.
Best,cv
