Yeah, I saw that the other day. Figured everyone else who cared had already Googled it.
It might be prudent to have a third one for center channel anyway, although I didn't really need one with the 4430's.across a very wide-ranging listening position
That solid wall of sound from a top notch LCR is pretty damn killer.
March is so far away.
Yes, but it will be a "game-changer"
I hate that term almost as much as..."at the end of the day."Originally Posted by grumpy

Who among our friends on this site will be the first to pull the trigger on a pair?
XPL 200's w DX1, XPL 160's, XPL 140's, L7's, L5's, L3's, L1's Homemade L Center, 4412's, 4406, L60T's, L20T's
I know two members who have been talking to Pro Dealers and one who has been talking to a Rep. We'll see who gets the first pair home.
My personal problem is with the top amp on the D2. That's a whole lot of amp for such a task.
I believe that "the owner of the GOLD-MINE" would be among the first.

just use a bss unit and the amps of your choice
may be a bryston 4b for the woofer and a 2.5b for the horn that should cover a home listenig expirence
lets see what config doese de first forum member implements . many choices
Agreed.
I actually find myself interested in how all this turns out!
I think I would look for a MC252 to go with my MC602. But then again I like my mac's.
But your right, an Itech 5000 for a pair of compression drivers?
Always fun learning more.......
I would like to see the settings in the I-techs. I know that in my Crown MAi 5000 I can set the appropriate RMS limiter for a specific transducer. I dont think it is 1250 Watts in 8 ohms for the horns.
For the bass, yes!
That is not an Ithech for the pair of compression driver, it is one channel of Ithech for one compression driver and the other one for the woofer, per side. So the power supply is shared between the woofer and the compression driver. That means that the woofer will be able to use a bit more of the power supply...But your right, an Itech 5000 for a pair of compression drivers?
Class D power is cheap, why bother?
On those amps you can also lower the gain down to +22dB (8V sensitivity), which is lower than almost any standard consumer amp on the market (I am not talking about the input attenuator, but the actual gain of the amplifier), and even pro amps (most of them are set to +26dB or +32dB). So the output signal will be lower for a given input signal, and this will also reduce the hiss the amp will produce on the compression driver (not even talking about the noise coming from source gears).
Finally, the DC offset (+/-3mV) is also likely to be far smaller than any traditional A/B amp, which is a good thing if you intend to plug a compression driver without any passive component...
Well, however you slice it, at the end of the day, this is going to be a real game changer.
Let me re-word my comment, Do you really need 1250 watts for a compression driver?My point being, that is overkill!! Not sure how much overkill I want to do with a class D amp.
These are of course my opinions.
Always fun learning more.......
by the way The BSS units are extremly noisy with the fan always on
man i will have to make a special box to house it.
if the studio does not hava a noise rack room it is going to bother some.
They just went with an off the shelf solution they had in inventory. It's left to us to do whatever we deem necessary.
Have you guys been keeping track of the people showing up to give these things a listen in the studios?
