I stole a thread title and substituted 1400 Arrays. Sorry, but curious. It seems the EMF(do I have that right?)back current from the Arrays powerful motor of the woofer may cause some issues to fully resolve the bass response. I really am curious to what people have done to 'correct' this issue.
Mine? A switch from McIntosh MC402 (400 wpc into 2,4 or 8 ohms) to Marantz MA9S2 mono blocks. I am not qualified to give a reason for the difference. But I am qualified enough to know that these damn fine looking amps do the freaking job. Yes, I think some effort went into the design--maybe like the design for the speakers? ....or any speakers for that matter.)
Quality. You see and feel and hear it in speakers. The very same with the sources. It has been almost a year since I bought this reference system and I still marvel at the construction. Yes, I adore my system-from the Arrays(not everyones cup of tea from a visual standpoint) to the tactile feel of the gear that makes music sound great-to me.
That is my power to drive the speakers. I would love to hear your story.
Be well everyone and remember, this is a hobby. Ones opinion is just that. Do not discount it.
