Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

A comment on my amp choice.

I did not go to a high power amp in order to drive the bass response lower or to increase it. I found that different amps seemed to have different abilities to control the woofer. I'm talking about the lower midrange, not the deep bass. The Plinius gave the cleanest, tightest sound in this region of the three to four amps that I tried over the years. It also was the best with my Spendor SP 100s in the same frequency region and in general. Lower power amps couldn't handle my large room with these inefficient speakers. The TT I had at the time I bought the Kefs had some very low frequency rumble, and I never knew it at first . It didn't make it through them.
