Derek's Phase Linear 700 Everstuff....

[pennysdad]

Eating my pint of Ben & Jerry's "Karmel Sutra" myself right now.

.... is that an ice-cream too?
Mine didn't work (pro'lly coz it was just vanilla), so I'm starting on the Apple Pie next.

It's suicide by eating....

You don't know what Ben & Jerry's is???

I know who Bill & Ted is, but no, I don't know your guys.
Wot do they do?

 

[laatsch55]

Derek: And like your buddy's NAD 3150, the 3020 is stable down to 2 ohms. The soft clipping feature is good, too. Read this article:

Nando.

Thanks Nando

Guys I need your help here. The owner of that Nad 3150 amp has been wanting to run two 6 ohm speakers and two 8 ohm speakers using A + B, according to nando's statement there, this is possible?

 

[derek92994]

Well, according to my Aussie (friggin') Post tracking page, it looks like Lee has a new brown box....
(unless he's returned it to have it's colour changed)

So D2, you're that much closer to having your brains blown out of your rectum......

Once I get the speakers maybe, on the other hand I have learnt how changing the amp can make the speakers sound so much different. I was really happy with the low range coming out of the 12 inch audiotones when using that NAD 3150 amp, even though its not as powerful as my 9500s amps. As for the WOPL its going to sound incredible, just gotta watch the volume dial, then when the new speakers come along its just going to get even better. I'm on the edge of my seat

a 6 ohm in parallel with a 8 ohm should be fine if the amp is stable to 2.

It's not always about power, Grasshopper....
.... but how the power is delivered.

Master Po.

More information needed. If you are running the two 6 ohms on the A channel and the two 8 ohms on the B channel and use the A + B switch, is this considered parallel?

Pictured is a switch on the back of the amp, in the case of running the two 6 ohms and two 8 ohms A + B should it be set to the "Normal" setting?

What will happen if the amp cant handle it, excessive heat? Will the "protection" module kick in if there is a problem? Need to get this right as its not my amp and I would like to see him have both pairs running.

that'll give you 7 Ohms if and when both A+B are selected, but the trade off will be that the 6 Ohm speaker may be the dominant sounding speaker if your ears are good enough to tell.

 

[laatsch55]

And how it is made....

 

[laatsch55]

No BD, it will be less than half the lowest.

See Post #191 please, we all replied at the same time there.

it'll never happen.
nothin' will kick in, unless you decide to run it flat out, and that ain't gonna happen, coz it'll be pretty distorted by then, and it'll be pretty obvious that it's time to turn it down.

only in amerika....

(a+b)/2=7

doesn't it?

 

[laatsch55]

Yep,

 

[derek92994]

Going by my calculations running two 8 ohms and two 6 ohms in parallel would give 3.42 ohms....correct? Amp is stable down to 2 ohms so this should be OK?

 

[pennysdad]

Yep,

so as far as his amp goes, it'll only 'see' 7 Ohms.
that's all that matters.
