Vintage Hi Fi How To Match Loudspeakers and AmplifiersSee our NEW Hi Fi Blog pagelots of New Sections since Jan 2. Hi Fi Tech related subjects plus opinion on Hi Fi News 1. Includes New Articles on this pages subject. This page has been updated read through with 2. Index to navigate. A Fresh Look at Hifi Loudspeakers Matching. Includes a selected listing of Loudspeakers from the 1. Hifi Yearbooks. Weve never read a page like this one weve written, you might find details hidden in dry theory books, but here is the deal on Speakers so it finally makes just a little bit more sense. This page was written at different times over a few years, the Index will help. PAGE INDEXwith section links  TOP Do We Know Much about Speakers Read on find out. Please dont ask if we know any other speakers than mentioned on this page. We dont dont have much interest in the thousands of mostly mediocre speakers made. Its a minefield we dont particularly care much about other speakers than the 1. Tannoy Golds. When you know the best, youre not interested in the rest. No, we dont know if your Speakers match your Amp, but we can tell you how to tell if they are below. Read on. The more amps we try on our Tannoy Golds, the wider our opinion can be. The fact is there really is no way to tell beyond actually trying the Amp with the Speaker. Weve not got bigger speakers of the post 1. See at the bottom of this page for how All Amplifiers Weve Tried sound on the 1. Tannoy Golds. Buying a Speaker is the most hard of all hifi items to buy due to the huge tonal differences and how they interact with the room you use as well as the amplifier. Think you need a tweeter, a midrange squawker the woofer Phase errors will create a poor sound as well as the minute volume differences. The Human Ear cannot supposedly hear these differences, yet some state we need Amplifiers delivering sound beyond 2. Hz to have music sounding right. You can read that most instruments dont go much over 1. Altec Lansing 604E Drivers' title='Altec Lansing 604E Drivers' />Enter the H model. In early 2004 I acquired a pair of 6048Hs, the last ALNICO magnet duplex model Altec produced before they switched. List of USB IDs Maintained by Stephen J. Gowdy If you have any new entries, please submit them via http or send. Hz what you do hear is mainly artifacts, harmonics hiss making sound seem brighter than it really is. With Headphones you hear one driver with the full frequency range its close to your ear with nothing beyond your ear head resonances to affect it. A speaker in a room sounds less upfront than having two small desktop speakers on the Computer inches away. The room speakers have reflections resonances to deal with generally sound less detailed as they can be 6 feet or more away. You hear of multi amping, there are microseconds of delay between a simple circuit path a more complex one so how can bi amping be good There are even triple amps for 3 driver systems, all pointless. Only the room blurring the sound will hide their inaccuracies phase errors. The best speaker is the Dual Concentric Tannoy speaker as both Bass Driver Tweeter mounted inside the Bass driver are at the same point of origin arrive together. You could be fussy say the tweeter voicecoil is 3 behind the bass voicecoil a tiny phase error exists too. Until full range speakers beyond Electrostatics exist, its the best there is for full range Hifi. Pamphlet Program Linus. Matching the Age of the Speakers to the Age of the Amplifier is crucially important too, read on. A Quick Loudspeakers Overview. So much about speakers that weve read to us seems so wrong. So to not get too deep into the whys wherefores here are our tried tested opinions. Speakers are best set facing your listening area, the old ideas of firing from corners misses any true sense of stereo as sounds overlap. Weve had speakers set as for many years stereo imaging from a defined point is certainly the best way. Bad design ideas that used to be popular in the early days are open baffle as no bass, omnidirectional loses any sense of imaging. Tweeters or speakers facing upwards is similarly too vague. Tweeter height should be at your listening level, not speakers put high up the wall or down too low, similarly flat screen TVs put high over fireplaces leaves you with neckache, instead ofg the image being midway in your seated position, old style TV stands were made that height for a purpose. Speaker cables, read our Cables page for more, but add Ferrites as they really do tighten the sound. The modern idea of tiny satellite speakers an amplified sub are not hifi at all, having heard these, where is the midrangeAny amp or speakers needing a sub active or passive is just a compromise too, trying to add deep bass to an amplifier that is bass limited just doesnt work as it sounds false. Our upgraded amps give full deep bass with larger speakers, youll have that THX type deep bass TV Film uses even with a 1. Tone Controls are needed for Speakers to use them is no problem or diversion from hifi, to sit listen to music lacking Bass or Treble for the ideals of source direct flat is just a way to miss the full enjoyment of audio hifi. As with any sound source, you can get used to it then hear another with a different tonal balance then fear your system is lacking. Below we rate how some amps play on the Tannoy Golds, the general idea is many amps sound great on these speakers if there are a few tricky ones that are best suited to later speakers. If buying speakers, perhaps the best way is to get at least 2 pairs use them for a while to decide which one you prefer. Ignore what others say are bad speakers if the speakers generaly have a good reputation, be sure the complainers are mismatching amp speaker. For the Tannoy Golds, the best match are the 1. Yamaha CR 7. 00 but if we has the Yamaha NS 1. CR 7. 00. After all, amp designers did use a reference speaker to design to, if in the case of the CR 7. It is possible to tune, by subtle redesign, an amp to speakers this we have done before. PRE 1. 97. 0 AMPS ARE BEST SUITED TO 8 OHM SPEAKERS. The earlier Amps have Early Designs as youd expect, the first Proper Transistor amp was the 1. Sony TA 1. 12. 0 by 1. First Generation of Amplifiers was here. Xp Pro Orjinal Yapma Program. By 1. 96. 9 the Second Generation was here with some designs being much tamer than the earlier ones, perhaps more accurate to say 1. Transitional. Weve given Generations to amplifiers but more research gets more known. Really only the Differential Era amps that arrived 1. Third Generation will be fully compatible with 4 ohm 8 ohm speakers. We upgrade test on 8 ohm speakers, our upgrades bring out the best in the Amps we can be sure thay 8 ohm speakers will work well. Some like the 1. 96. Akai AA7. 00. 0 say 8 ohm speaker only which is clear. Some say nothing. Program Do Tuningu Wizualnego Samochodu'>Program Do Tuningu Wizualnego Samochodu. Some suggest 4 1. IMPORTANT CHECK THE SPEAKER IMPEDANCE. Some say Impedance 4 8 ohm which weve found is misleading as its really only 4 ohm. Weve found twice now that Celestion Dittons are a bad load for early amps. Ditton 4. 4 1. 00w Ditton 3. HFE wrongly says 8 ohm but look at the User Manuals to see 4 8 ohm. It cant be both resistances, its 4 ohm. If you use these 4 ohm speakers on early amps, they will likely overheat as the load is half so the current is doubled. It may or may not damage the amp, but its User Error which it does take these issues to realise. The Ditton 4. 4 user we told to add 4 ohm resistors to the speaker cables now the amp works fine. The Ditton 3. 3 is told the same, but to use 2. But we do know Celestion Ditton 6.
