![]() I'm not really sure how you can apply that math into power handling on a speaker. it is the square root of the average of the sum of the squares of the power being output over a certain period of time, which is a value of amplification. ![]() Hm maybe 150W is the maximum amount of power it should be fed? It could possibly take that much power consistently.īut Root-mean-square power is not really a handling value, it is a power output value. ![]() Truth is I would have to hear any pair of speakers first to judge them properly. I even had a guy at Soundtrack tell me that 200 watts max was pretty high for a 15" 3-way pair of speakers. And I do hate the fact that most everybody lists the max power rather than the RMS. I just wanted to know what the RMS power handling is. If the shipping costs are reasonable, take their bet, since that is all that you are risking. They are betting that you wll like them and keep them. The best way to tell is order them and try them. I have dealt with that company, and they have a very good return policy (although you have to follow up to make sure that they credit your account). I am assuming a soft dome of some sort, which may be good.īottom line: I haven't a clue how they will sound from the description. Natural fiber tweeters is a very interesting statement. No word on driver surround? Better drivers have rubber surrounds and cast baskets. Radiused corners are good, while pointy square corners are cheap to manufacture, are not durable, and add diffraction and re-emission. Real wood veneer is good, I guess, but has nothing to do with the sound. It has great damping properties, and it is cheap and easy to work with, so it is industry default. I still can't believe that manufacturers brag about MDF, which is basically very thick cardboard. Although many high accuracy speakers exhibit low efficiency, the reverse is not necessarily true. That won't keep me from rendering an opinion!Ĩ6db is surprisingly low efficiency for a 3-way. There is not much of anything in those specs. These are now on sale for just under $300. WOOFER MATERIAL - INJECTION MOLDED COPOLYMER MID-RANGE MATERIAL - INJECTION MOLDED POLYMER The versatile M80’s tweeter/mid-range mounting plate can be repositioned, in case you choose to place them horizontally.ĬABINET FINISH - SLATE, MAHOGANY, BLONDE MAPLE The speakers may be positioned vertically or horizontally. It couldn't have been under better circumstances.The M80 is the top-of-the-line Newton Series bookshelf.Įach MDF enclosure features a beautiful real-wood veneer finish and contains an 8" woofer, a 3 ½" midrange driver and a silk fabric tweeter. It was tested in an acoustically perfect room. The only source I plugged in was an AMC CD player. ![]() I played the A1 with Acoustic Energy AE100 speakers on sand-filled Atlantis stands. In my opinion, this is the greatest amplifier bargain anyone has ever built, especially at 469.00 $ cdn. This is an integrated, so it won't pack unlimited power, but never was I thinking of cranking up the volume knob of this 30 watts/channel at more than halfway. It's so nice and sweet, it's just flowing around you like a cool autumn breeze in a maple's leaves. But what made me go the Cambridge Audio way was its incredible midrange. Both remaining contestants had excelent highs, the bass was very well tempered and precise, even though it won't make you forget Bryston or Conrad- Johnson. The NAD and the AMC didn't make the final cut. So i went to a couple of hi-fi shops I knew and listened to NAD, Arcam, Cambridge Audio and AMC amplifiers. That time came for me a couple of months ago when I had to choose an amplifier to drive my Acoustic Energy speakers. In every man's life there's a time where he has to go through the burden of choosing the amplifier for his system. Whoever at phillips designed this i.c is a genius. This little amp sounds so amazingly rich and deep. If you are thinking about purchasing this thing used from someone I suggest going to the 47 labs reviews on this site and reading some of the glowing reviews there because that's what you will be listening to if you get ahold of one of these. Although some of the newer cambridge stuff may still be using this chip, i'm not certain. Yep, this is basically the same thing except it sells for about $400! Cudos to cambridge audio! Too bad this product is no longer in production though. I should also mention that the same i.c power amplifier is being used in the 47 labs gaincard amp(or whatever it's called) that sells for something like $4000. If you look inside the unit you will see how many few parts the amp uses (something like 9 components per channel-no s*it). First i should mention that this amplifier uses an integraded chip amplifier that provides it the 35 watts it gives out.
