4344 tri-amp?

[Toro Italo]

Good morning forumers!

I just wanted to give an update on the current state of the system.


Currently, the 4344 is triamped (the only passive crossover is between tweeter and super-tweeter).


I'm using two PASS XVR-1 crossover . In ultra-low range I'm using the homebuilt subwoofer mentioned in previous pictures.


The system sounds outstanding. The sense of realism is shocking.

The soundstage is very wide and deep, musical instruments found their stable place on the stage and they have a materiality previously unknown.


It was not easy to fine adjust (you can act on a huge number of variables), but the result was worth all the effort.

Next step: a phono!!!

Best regards,

Mirko

Hello Mirko!

Congrats - I'd say you have taken tri-amp to the "next level." I appreciate your comment re the "huge number of variables." So often folks here are hypnotized by the latest exotic gear when the truth is the "secret" is hours, months, years of hard work to optimize the system - engineering development/patience. No magic! Your effort to eliminate all the sources of noise is key. In the old days this was THE major problem with these complex systems. The Pass X-overs are a key element here. Gorgeous room; art center! Bravo! Mike

Thank you Mike!
The total absence of noise in bi-amp inspired me to try the tri-amp solution.
No one type of noise, no hum, simply the absolute silence in the absence of the input signal. You're right, crossovers are the weakest link in a complex system. XVR-1 is built with the same painstaking care of other Nelson Pass electronic. I'm more than happy to have made this choice, in my case the crossover really makes the difference.

All the best,

Mirko
