Or a Gainclone? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gainclone
Both low powered amps on a chip. Both needing high efficiency speakers. I wonder if the openness and clarity with both is in some large measure to do with the use of horn or transmission line loudspeaker cabinets with (perhaps) full range drivers (and therefore no crossover). Modern inefficient boxes into which we pump loads of cheap watts may be muddying the music. -- Labarum Brian Squeezebox 3 Classic and Virgin Cable Box Beresford DAC TC-7510 MK6/4 - Quad 405-2 refurbished by 405man Quart 980s http://www.hifi-wiki.de/index.php/MB_Quart_980_S ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Labarum's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19963 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=59916 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
