RE: Beveridge?
Posted by AJ on February 17, 2016 at 10:09:37:
Hi there,
I'm not sure if you are being serious LOL! .. if you look up at my first reply to the thread you'll see I posted a BIG pic of the amp and one up its skirt.
I've hand built a lot of amps and preamps but I just don't have the time any more nor the level of commitment to carry on a direct drive project to the end. So, Modjeski got the call after reading through his thoughts on Audio Circle some time ago. He makes a lot of sense to me as I have been trained in EE as well but just don't have the background experience he does in this speciality. I wasn't willing to spend the time to learn and experiment when he has done the work. I had been frustrated enough rebuilding quad esl panels in the past and while successful- it wasn't worth my time in the end.
I have tried Modjeski's crossover and subs for the Beveridge's but I did not like the imposition the crossover put on the transparency of the Beveridges. So , I went a different route with REL subs and like the results much more. The Beveridge's are incredibly revealing and it is crime to use anything but the best with them. I hear stories of some folks driving them with AV receivers after rescuing a pair... yikes.
If I go active again I have built my own crossover and it is , I believe, much more transparent.
Thanks.
