In Reply to: Triamping my high-sensitivity linearray speakers. posted by jeffreybehr on January 16, 2007 at 22:33:17:
Buy a $30 Sonic Impact Amp, use a big SLA battery and healthy fresh cap to make sure that flea wattage is enough. I found that it's ok for bedroom use, but not my linearray's in a large room. Just my opinion. Now, I sure do like SET for the tweeters but need 805's to get the clean volume and overhead for peaks.
I *like* the loudness button!

Hi All, when I tri-amped by Altec A7 (with a tweeter added) I drove the 515B woofers with a Crown D150, I drove the 1505 horns with 288C drivers with my 300B and the tweeters with a Sonic Impact. I have never heard tweeters sound so clean and crystalian. I fed all that through a Rane active crossover. Cheers.
I've got some A-7's on the way... what tweeter did you use to augment them?

I used the Beyma CP25. It is a commercial tweeter that is not well known. I might just have really Fu@&ed ears, but I have not heard a better tweet from any of the super high end manufactures. You can see the tweet sitting on top of the A7 just below the 1505. Cheers.
What model Rane crossover are you using?Thanks.
Sorry for the delay. It was the 23. Cheers.
...and hearing and seeing the dbx Driverack 260 in action*, I've sort of settled on it or its little brother the Driverack PA, but I'm open to other opinions. Sure wish I could find one that had RCA (single-ended) ins/outs that didn't cost $2500.Also occurred to me that I can start using a digital speaker-management system now, without adding a tweeter amp, and probably I'll do that.
* it's used by Clayton Shaw of Emerald Physics to X-over/eq./time-align his new dipole system, the LS-1; see link.
