End Game Speakers

It was the room. His buddy had much better luck with his room. We all know bass is very finicky in each individual room if all you have is two speakers and no sub. Live and learn.
Speaking of speakers and power amp matching instead of vu meters monitoring the Power output it would be interesting to monitor the voltage rails
If the voltage drops during the loudest passages the amp is not enough for the speakers
I liked the idea so much that i tried on a cheap amp with small PS caps I used a 5 ohm 200W dummy load The needle of the Voltmeter dropped clearly pumpimg up the volume
For the ultimate speakers it depends on the room clearly The room fixes in many ways the top performance obtainable from a speaker system
You can't get a high end performance in a bad room even with a end game speaker

Ok, now I want both VU meters and voltage rail meters! You have fed the beast.
Hi actually I got the idea from the power cube test on the old magazine The Audio Critic
Some high prices power amps performed quite badly
Other cheaper better
My dream amp has always been the old krell ksa 100
That would drive almost anything domestic It could be the corner stone of the system
Ours almost did a couple times. LOL But what an awesome ski boat !!!
The B&W photo has me behind the wheel the first season out after we build this.
17.5' Rayson Craft SK w/ 392 Chrysler Hemi and a single quad carb.
The color photo was taken a year or two later after a couple up-grades
like dual quads, hotter cams. etc.
Oh the good old days, $0.34.9 a gallon for 100+ octane premium leaded gas.
