Dear Forum, Iīm considering new amplifiers for my active driven Magnepanīs (MG 3.3R) with true ribbon tweeter. Let the regular planarīs aside, Iīm intrigued by class A on the tweeters and would like your comments. The ribbon series in question are the the later (wider type) ribbon used in the 3.5 & 3.6 models and are supposedly 3 Ohms in resistance. I have no specific information about the sensitivity though. Crossover frequency will be about 3 kHz. How would you evaluate the requirements for this configuration ? Would a single-ended 10 Watt class A do ? (Pass First Watts or Zen) -or could even tube-amps be a consideration ? What about turn on/off noise ? (-incredible important as the tweeters are directly coupled and are fragile....!) Your comments are very welcome. kind regards Hysolid // Mytek Brooklyn // Spectron Musician III // Analysis Audio Omega |
