You can crank up the volume at very loud level? i mean that tower apparently can support up to 350w, my r300s only support 125w and the woofer at certain volume can't do more, the R3 are 180w so i think these bookshelf can handle more volume than my r300s, because the woofer start to do weird thing in 120hz~~ at very loud volume, i have a huge EQ with them and -3dB pre amp, the r300s sound very nice with the purifi and i don't really need more volume, my neighboord don't wanna a hear speakers sounding at concert level xD

But the Purifi needs 2.4V for full power ( vtv said me that in email ) and freya push 4vrms, or not?
Or do you mean for make your speaker sound really loud, you need to push the freya in the redline? but aside of pushing near to redline, you can push very loud your speakers without any problem, right?
But i don't think the 1et400a is a low power amplifier for drive bookshelf or easy towers, i mean the purifi can drive most of the speakers out there xD
well, in the worst case i can add another Purifi from vtv XD. The amplifier is really good, i have a courple of days with my purifi and i like it
btw, nice to thear someone is driving well his F208 floorstanders
I inquired and seems it’s the optimal design to have the heat sink in the middle, both VTV/Apollon do this, “keeps the chokes away from the buffer board”.
Although the AC wire supplied by Ghent isn’t long enough.

Totally. If you look at the Apollon build, they skirt the wires around the side. The cables that came from Ghent aren’t long enough for this so going to leave as is for now
Great video that gives you a sense of how vastly different types of music requires ample head room. On the order of perhaps x10 to x15. I was listening to the song on my iPad and watching the power meter hit 800watts and it did not correlate. So I played that same track on my main system and made dishes fall in the kitchen cabinet in another room. Obviously I was missing all the low ULF in that track. It really shows how much juice this type of music demands. Illuminating video. Surprised the speaker builders as well.
Anyone hear from VTV yet whether their IEC inlet/EMI/RFI filter contains y-capacitors? Could you ask them to leave it out of the build and instead just use a plain quality IEC inlet from Schurter, etc.?

Just email and ask. Warren is accommodating about requests and easy to work with. I'm sure he would do it if he had the part on hand. Also, it seems trivial to swap out if you do it yourself (look at photos).

It would be a trivial swap, actually. You’d have to make sure you got the wiring correct and make sure the ground wire is securely attached to the chassis. Might want to test continuity after the swap if you are paranoid.
