Beautiful elegant design of black with bronze!
Off thread, but if I were wiring a huge home theater, I’d have a wall panel with SpeakOn connections for all speakers running to the AV room (instead of banana plugs). Not only is it “professional”, it is safer as the Speak-on twist is electrically very safe. I don’t see how one connector is that much bulkier than two banana plugs + binding posts and definitely a 4-wire connector is less bulky than 4 banana plugs + binding posts. It’s also less capacitive (not that it makes an audible difference). If you’re a bare wire person then I guess you could argue bulk.Speakon is great for pro use, as it can take a lot of abuse. However, the bulk makes it less Tha ideal on a lot of home audio equipment, especially if it is only stereo. So I eould not call it the best connector for all purposes. I certainly would not want to use them on my desktop system. That does not change the fact that that clerk sounds like a jerk.
It is a very elegant look; not the "yellow" gold finish that's popular with electronics in some cultures, but kind of a light "champagne" reminiscent of what Denon has done with some of their statement pieces. If I go with Buckeye, I would want one of their multichannel amps with a similar anodized finish, except in silver.Beautiful elegant design of black with bronze!
I don't see them on the website. Am I missing something or have they been removed?One major announcement: I am discontinuing the Ghent build offerings. They are too few and far between in demand and have gone up in cost.
They have been removedI don't see them on the website. Am I missing something or have they been removed?
No and haven't since the first few months of starting the business as it is against OEM agreement with Hypex.I liked the Ghent cases but I can see why you made that choice.
Do you still offer kits for DIY?
Ok cool, thanks for the info!No and haven't since the first few months of starting the business as it is against OEM agreement with Hypex.
Seeing the specs of the speakers, you can go with 8 channel Hypex 252 easily. If you want more power for the L/R, you can do a custom build, one module NC502MP for L/R if you think you need that much power, and for the rest of the speakers, you can have NC252MP modules.Which 8-channel amp for my situation, Hypex 252 or 502?
Front L/R: Chane A5.4 (6 ohm, 92db sensitivity)
Center: Chane A2.4 (8 ohm, 88db sensitivity)
2x Surround and 2x Height: Speakercraft One (8 ohm, 88db sensitivity)
the "Dr" title is official
Congrats Dr.! The P in PhD is for perseverance!Sorry for the MIA:
I had my dissertation defense this week and have passed, meaning the "Dr" title is official and the road is cleared to devote yet another large amount of time to the business!
On that note:
- 95% of those who had NC502MP builds backordered since the summer/fall have seen those orders filled...the only remaining ones outstanding are 8ch NC502MP XL orders. Those will be completed over Holiday break.
- I am now pivoting to starting and completing all December ETA orders over the next 10-14 days (most of them are Purifi orders so will not take long to catch up)
Indeed, very cool. Congrats, Dylan!I had my dissertation defense this week and have passed, meaning the "Dr" title is official and the road is cleared to devote yet another large amount of time to the business!
