For @amirm's equalization, what is the pre-amplification level set to?

Maybe. They might be too large to place high up for atmos

Looks like the Kef satellites measure worse than these. I'm thinking maybe the Kef R8 Meta?

I planned to use these as surround/atmos speakers to complement my Focal Sopra LRC channels. Since these are subpar, is there an alternative set of speakers I can use for that purpose?

How audible would the noise and distortion be if this is used for consumer subwoofer duty? At what frequency do we start to notice noise and distortion?

I remember reading here that putting the tweeter in the middle of the woofer is better for in-ceiling speakers. Would this be the case for speakers like this being angled from the top of the wall?

how do they compare to focal utopia?

Focal Utopia is the best I've listened to.

Interesting. What about this case makes it so that tubes don't add distortion? And in which case would it add distortion? What are the differences between the two? Also, going off the description in Spritzer's Carbon amp, it says "The original design concept for this amp was born to tame the...

How many XLR outputs will the pre-90 have?

The aesthetics -- I prefer the clean flow design as opposed to a box that only exists to house the electronics. The only striking part of the Geshelli is the transparent front and back -- and even then it looks as if that was done out of convenience rather than a conscious attempt to maximize...

Don't people fawn over the 3rd party amps more? Like the Blue Hawaii, KGSSHV Carbon, or Megatron?

I have an electrostatic headphone amplifier. Are you able to measure that? Thanks

So the reason I mentioned the benchmark amp was that it has the highest signal-to-noise and signal-to-distortion ratios out of any power amp we've measured here. It certainly has power, but I'm not suggesting it for its raw power -- but rather for its ability to deliver that power with minimal...

So the thing about tube amplifiers is that tubes are added to purposely distort the sound, this makes any claims of superior sound be subjective. Although Carbon isn't exactly a tube amplifier, it uses SiC FETs, which are very close and thus would modify the sound in a way which may or may not...

Any update on this?

Maybe, but part of his drive is to prove that the emperor has no clothes. Electrostatic amplifiers can certainly use the light Amir sheds on audio devices as any sort of review I've seen electrostatics has been purely subjective. Those reviews contain the same subjective lingo used in other...

So if I wanted to use the Pre-90 just for volume control, would i be able to output to two different xlr input devices?

Can the A90 output headphone and XLR out at the same time?

So can the A90 properly drive the Susvara?
