In Reply to: RE: Can You Recommend an Amplifier for Me? posted by Mel on July 16, 2015 at 20:20:18
Sorry, I'm a Maggie guy so I don't get into transmission lines and cabinet damping. I can only speculate that perhaps you got too much of a good thing and your speakers are overdamped. In theory your amp should have plenty of juice for the von Schweikerts which are supersensitive compared to the Magnepan line.

Well, they cannot be too overdamped, for when I substituted a VERY old Dynaco SS amp, the bass returned. And I hear they are great with the Parasound.
You should probably try the Parasound A21. I think it is an outstanding amplifier and it drives my 3-ohm Thiel CS3.7's perfectly. It would be great if you could audition one. I have a friend with Von Schweikert speakers and they have very good bass in his system. I can't remember the amplifier he's using, though.
See if you can audition a Parasound A21. It works very well for me.
Thanks John. I will audition the Parasound.
I had great bass before the upgrade. The speaker was specked to 25 Hz.(-2db) and it was believable for this relatively small speaker. The new one is supposed to be much better still. It uses very expensive Scandinavian aluminum cone woofers.
