I gotta pair

[jbeckva]

Yeah.. even a pair of NAD's, if you can believe it. Hehe

The 2nd amp was something I couldn't pass up. Seller said it only worked in one channel but the pic of the back was showing it in bridge mode. So I figured 50/50 chance, eh? Either I was going to get a great deal or the seller had it "all planned out that way". Got it in.. it could use a lil bit of adjustment but overall there's nothing wrong with it.

Got both of them bridged now. 300 RMS and 800 peak with the "PE" trick power supply. I fired 'em up a week or so ago - good clean power and plenty of it.

It'll have ta do. Yeah.. it does sound REAL good at the moment. Still Shponglin' with Rex's tapes... niiiiice!

 

[jbeckva]

And then....

So yeah, I figured I would go and get the M-80 back in the lineup. Hmmm... It aint your daddy's yammy, man. It's got those big ole beercans in the back, new FET inputs, and the Muze FG caps inside wherever I could find 'em and replace 'em.



Forgot how good soundin' it was... got the D.M.T. Shponglin' right now... yaaah... (shsssh not TOO LOUD or "da parsons" aka "da wife"'ll come get me... )

Love those D-9's . Good combo for the Yammie "with balls" !!

You know.. I bet that's why I took it out of the lineup for awhile. The Polk Monitor 50's I had bought awhile back didn't quite sound good with it as much as they did with other options I have. Hmmmm...

 

[laatsch55]

Hmmmm???????

 

[jbeckva]

Thinkin... contemplatin.. That type o' "hmmmm"....

 

[laatsch55]

Ah.....familiar with that one I am.....

 

[jbeckva]

Yeah, opened up the throttle on the M-80 just now. It's got the NADs runnin' cryin to "mama"...

Now to wait awhile for my hearing to come back... hehehe

14 minutes and 59 seconds, ya gotta let the voice coils cool down anyway. They say no longer than 15 minutes in a row of 120db or more.

 

[speakerman1]

On the Polks they aren't very efficient are they Around 88 or less? I know the Labs are more efficient than the Epos and I can tell a difference.

I think they run around 90db 1w/1m. Not too bad, but compared to the D-9's at around 105 yeah.. big diff there...
