![]() ![]() With a frequency response between 46Hz-35000Hz, the B5.2 bookshelf speaker incorporates a custom-engineered 5.25″ mid-bass driver and a 1″ cloth dome tweeter. Improving on its award-winning predecessor, the Debut B5.2 sets a higher standard and delivers an amazing performance from a compact build size. ![]() Power affects the sound of low efficiency speakers.2-Way Bass Reflex bookshelf speaker that can deliver up to 120 Watts of output. ![]() But, it's kinda scary how good it makes Spotify sound.įor anyone in the future reading this: Yes. Not sure if it's because it's a pure digital source that way or because of the 801s dac or both. I will say the Chromecast audio in via digital toslink into the 801 is NIGHT AND DAY over the stereo in of the Onkyo. So the difficult decision will be whether it's worth overpaying. I am certain it won't be a $900 difference. I'm going to let the 801s settle in for a week and then A/B with my Onkyo. And buy a larger/better speaker set later. So, the question remains: Do I overpay on the better experience - during a plague with not much joy - or return them and just enjoy my music at louder volumes. I'd have giant speakers and a whole room dedicated to this thing. If I was a single dude living on my own, sure. Or whenever we move out of our small house and I can buy better bigger speakers. The question is do I keep them and the $900 expense or do I return them and listen to them with my old receiver for at least a year or two. The 801s are definitely the better match for the Elac. A receiver is easier for me to swap in lol. And bringing in a new set of speakers isn't going to fly. My RX-350 (and RX-530, and RX-730) vouch for that.Īppreciate the info RE: Speakers. That the Yammie gives a 6 Ohm power spec (and the Onkyo does not) is meaningful. Another option is get the Yammie, then add a sub later so you dont need to push the speakers as hard. I also feel you would benefit even more with more power. My opinion is yes you will hear a difference(though I admit it is possible you wont be able to tell), especially the louder you listen. And has the loudness feature which might also help my situation?" Will I see any difference? That Yamaha is at the price point I feel okay with. (I can't find any spec sheet that lists what the Onkyo is at 6 ohm though.) It's got 100w 6 ohm, whereas the Onkyo is 50w 8 ohm. Those Elacs are 6 Ohm, 120 W speakers which I believe is what my Sony SS-T元 are (the Advent Heritage are 6 Ohm, 150 W). I kind doubt I will consider it "worthy" of powering these speakers, but we shall see. 150 W RMS, does not nearly double down in power (more like 1.5x at 4 Ohm), but does have 70 A instantaneous current as well as overload light indicators. I soooo wanted all those beloved TOTL 90s receivers to "get R done", but they just did not, especially in the lower frequency ranges. It is possible that the fact I knew what was what (not a blind AB test) affected results, but I really do not think this is the case. These results do not make sense with theory, or these speakers use more power than one thinks they are using at "lower listening levels". Innersound ESL 800-"very worthy, slightly worthier than iPower 750, has bigger PS and powers speaker longer when shut off" But with the Carvers, they just dont sound all that great no matter what the volume is.ĭenon POA-2800 200 Ohm, does not quite double down in power- "worthy enough"įorte Model 3 200 Ohms, doubles down in power-"worthy" When they power any of the other 4 speakers mentioned, differences in sound are minimal/perhaps even undetectable to my ears. I do not consider any of them worthy of powering these speakers, even at lower volumes. Just did not sound very good at lower volumes. But fail to power the Carvers adequately, even at volumes below (nearly certain, but who knows for sure, volumes were not that loud) what they are rated for. Well the following amps can power B&W CDM-1SE, NHT 1.5, Advent Heritage, and Sony SS-T元 just fine. Over the past 2 months or so Ive been having the "is it worthy of powering my Carver Amazing Silver MK4" (83 dB efficiency, rated for 750 W RMS Ohm) contest? B&W, NHT, etc) when you give them a lot of power" was a bunch of BS. And that they saying "they really start to open up (i.e. Though I used to be of the belief that as long as one was operating below the max continuous power an amp was capable of cleanly producing that this should not matter. ![]()
