I've heard local 18 watt SEUL 13E1 amps, and the Aleph 3 rack version! and several Zen's - and their 'balanced' kiddies.My rebuilt Leak St20's got real close, once I'd put a CCS on each splitter, that is!
I am considering CCSing the output stages - as per Allen Wright, but this means pure class-A output stages, and a significant peak power loss. BTA I may just have sufficient headroom after I've built the [12"] bass bin tubes - to be powered by my rebuilt STAX DA80 - to go under my model 3 'spheres - see below.
It really depends on whether I end up with the bins running high enough ~ 150 - <300, to assist with the baffle loss and the floor dip, or if they sound better just doing ELF, say ~ <35 ~ ?, with almost no extra 'gain-structure' headroom.
It is 'possible' - with the 12" driver/port driving the room, facing the floor, slot-loaded to a 24-inch round paver, that the bins could run in parallel from 'somwhere below 250hz', - helping fill in our first dip which is a room harmonic combined with baffle dip, and the floor dip, because the driver engages the room differently to the 8"!?
Sorry, I went off your topic, again.
Hope you could follow it.

- NO, but if it is better on HE spkrs than the Aleph, it must be acceptable. - Timbo in Oz 06/6/0517:06:17 06/6/05 (0)
