    Elipsa Red's driven with McIntosh MA275 stereo amp

    I own the Sonus Faber Elipsa SE I used to have them hooked up to Classe CP-800 and CA-2100 the sound was nice but a bit clinical. I then borrowed a Prima Luna integrated tube amp and oh my god! They came alive the sound was so much richer the music became like real instrument where playing in my...

    MacBook Air as a Music Server?

    I have been thinking about doing the same thing except, the issue is that I could see my kids wanting to borough the laptop to play games! I like the Mac mini idea better I can get 1TB of SSD with it additional ram and can hook up the HDMi in addition to the USB

    Mono amp or Bi-amplification

    So here is something interesting that I learned on the B&W 800D series "In the B&W 800Diamond series the only electrical connection between the midrange/tweeter circuits and the woofer circuits is the jumper wires or plates at the speaker terminals. So if one remove these links, the woofers...

    Mono amp or Bi-amplification

    So if I understand correctly unless one has active biamplification it is useless in passive crossover! I don't need more power, except I am tempted to try these out ? http://shop.emotiva.com/collections/amplifiers/products/xpr1 Any opinion?

    Mono amp or Bi-amplification

    Thank you, yes i think that messing around with opening up the 800D would not be a wise decision, at least for me! For movies I would say 95db max except when there are explosion, for music probably 85db if that

    Mono amp or Bi-amplification

    Great but honestly, I don't think I ill mess with the 800D and try to put active crossover by opening the base! I am not qualified to do so and would worry to do more harm than good, so the question still remain with passive crossover like in the B&W 800Diamond is it worth bi-amping or should...

    Mono amp or Bi-amplification

    Thank you, I don't see myself messing with the passive crossover inside the B&W 800 Diamond, that would void the warranty plus I have no idea what I am doing :) So if don't add an active crossover is it still worth it? to do Stereo amps or Monoblocks

    The cabinet is completely open in the front and back so the heat doesn't accumulate.
