Correct! Mabigat talaga ang isang AN. Parang Dynaudio speakers sa laki ang ferrite magnet ng mga ito. Nung di pa masyado alam ng Custom ang speakers na ito, free pa tax nung panahon ni Gloria. Ngayon na alam na nila...mga 2k-3k na singil nila depende sa declaration ni David as per your agreement.

My speakers today is just a Standard 8 with some tweak and I am very much happy on it. My first AN was Super 8, ako na lang naglagay ng damping material sa speaker frame niya. Si Trod93 na ang may ari ngayon.

If you have a budget and want a Class A - AB amp, I love to recommend this.

Minimalist design and ideal for Audio Nirvana Speakers who love to have Rega P1 or RP1 up TT.

Hi AN peepz! I'll be having a pair of Audio Nirvana Super 8 speakers soon!

Just wanted to ask if what integrated amplifier is best suited with these? Any entry level brand(Yamaha, Onkyo, Rotel, Arcam, Denon, Pioneer, Marantz... etc.around 40W-80W) you have tested these that works well? I have no budget for tubes maybe this will be my upgrade in the future. Thanks!

Depends on your budget. If you have P30K go for brand new Rega Brio - R Class A Integrated amp with very good MM phono stage..someone in tipid sulit is selling that. Just type Rega Brio R on search. If you have P10k or 16k budget go for Arcam or vintage class A Pioneer or Marantz amp that has 50 watts @ 8ohms.

You have powered speaker on your laptop or desktop computer? Play this You tube video. My AN was not yet 200 hours broken in the video. The source is just a personal CD copy of old album Rivermaya. Also, in the video I haven't tweaked my speaker box port yet. I mean it's better sounding now compared before.

Hi Sir Monreq, so only class A integrated amps are best suited for these speakers aside from tubes? Class A amps are not that efficient right? aside from heat build up even when there is no load...

Nice video by the way, one of my fave song.

Nag compare kasi ako dati between Class A and Class AB ng Yamaha CA 1000 Class A, mas detalyado ang tunog sa Class A circuit. Iyong init ok lang kung ang speaker mo naman 50 watts max.@ 98db. So, the heat will not be an issue.

Kapag naka class A, mas mataas ang gamit ng kuryente pero mas maganda ang details. Iyong Rega Brio R parang similar sa Naim class A amp ang SQ. Kaya maganda din.

monreq · « **Reply #311 on:** Apr 22, 2013 at 10:47 PM »

Sound trip lang: Mayroon din nito si Shrek ng ganitong music track. Mas maganda SQ kasi naka Tera Dak at Alnico speakers yon.

CD was a gift of my friend snobol.. (Please use a good quality headphone or computer speakers)

Here are some of the videos of AN:

I'll give you a tip on how to have a good audio set up. If you already have an Audio Nirvana Speakers Fullrange or any speakers similar to it, buy a good amp and most of all buy a very good NOS DAC with no OP AMP..I once had a modified Sony CDP which I used in the video, you can hear the difference using a headphone or a very good quality speakers the dynamic and details and 3D soundstage of DAC TDA 1541 of the CD. TDA 1543 DAC if I am not mistaken use by Tera Dak is better. So, invest on a very good NOS DAC with no OP Amp and the one that uses TDA 1541A , TDA 1541, TDA 1543 DAC. But if you don't like ANALOG/VINYL LIKE SOUNDING CD PLAYER, THIS KIND OF DAC IS NOT FOR YOU.

Note: Pls.use headphone. 2011 videos

daming tips sir mon....

salamat ng marami sa infos. dami namin matutunan. mas naeexcite tuloy ako sa "gift" ni big brother na AN .......

i am thinking of pairing it with the yaqin tube amp.

now that the 3 way OB that i made is almost done, this will be my next project...

monreq · « **Reply #314 on:** Apr 23, 2013 at 08:25 AM »

If you already have Yaqin and it's class A, ok na yan. Basta SET or Single Ended Tube Amp kahit 5 watts lang ok na. But if you are still planning to buy, go for Rega Brio R or other Bada Hybrid (Preamp Tube+SS power amp integrated) Class A ok siya. Moreso, a good quality amp of any brand as long as the circuit is discrete (minimalist design) Class A, ok siya. But the best is invest on a very good quality NOS DAC. Analog/vinyl sounding DAC - DAC TDA 1541, TDA 1541A or TDA 1543. But if you prefer high frequency and low freq.extensions than analog sounding SQ, go for sampling DACS out there...V-DACs...etc.

Vintage Class A Amp. I saw one in sulit. I have this before and if you test it and in good condition, you may never regret pairing this with Audio Nirvana in Class A operation. Ask for free 500watts 100v converter. Use 100v tranny adaptor and not 110v. It will destroy the 100v tranny of the amp in the long run.

ok po manong mon....hahaha...juk lng

naku, kung saan saan lang nakuha yung mga ingridients brader mon. (if ok lng sa iyo brader). nagiisip pa ako kung palitan ko ng 15incher ung midbass (x2) and tweak ung xover.

jbl mid, vifa tweet, sansui and pio for mid/bass, jbl for the xover.

testing bago itayo sa temporary cabinet nya...literal na cabinet talaga dahil galing sa pintuan ng cabinet

eto naman brader yung sa isa ko kasama. hindi pa din tapos ung cabinet.

base lang sa pandinig lang yung ginawa ko, not sa calculation/computation. pero antay ko pa din ung impression ng mga kasamahan ko this week kung ano yung dpat na i-improve.

salamat brader mon

Manong? Ok lang Ilocano naman ermats ko..Vizcaya. Bro.kung makukuha mo lang sa net information ng freq.response ng bawat speakers mo di ka mahihirapan mag tweak ng crossover. Siguro ang gamitin mo x over iyong pang 12" na set up din o di kaya hingi ka ng tulong kay Trod93 Mr. Tony Rodriquez. Kasi nakapagtimpla na ng OB yon. Iyong OB support mo sa likod mo ilagay. Dapat medyo naka tilt ng kaunti para di bumagsak. Kung pasado sa tenga mo tunog, I mean natural sounding, ok yan. I would suggest you use active xover. Marami sa raon niyan. Mahirap kasi mag passive diyan, di mo makukuha ang tamang timpla. Sa active xover manu manu mo matitimpla para makuha tamang tunog.

@Tsnad: Kaya mo yan bro. Basta pg multi driver na OB dapt may specs kayo ng mga speaker driver para makapg pa custom made kayo ng xover kay Anthony of A-Audio. Pero pg wala kayo idea, best pa din ang active xover...using 2 or 3 power amps or T Amps from TonyT.

Pero kung single driver lang na 12"FR i can help you to google search which OB is the best for your driver. Just let me know anu exact SQ niyo sa OB nyo. Basta always use good qlty.copper wire for OB.

iniisip ko pa magpalit ng woofer or lahat

Bro.laki Marikina na ako kaya di marunong mag Ilocano o Pangalatok..erpats ko kasi Bayambang, Pangasinan. Nag Middle East din ako sa Qatar at U.A.E. I would suggest hanap ka ng Philips FR. Mag 2 way OB ka lang bro para mas natural ang SQ at madali magpagawa ng xover. Kasi usually kapag 2 way ang tweeter o super tweeter lang ang naka capacitor. Ok na Vifa mo. Tapos iyong 12" FR mo check mo kay Raffy Blued2007 kung meron pa siya FR kahit midbass lang.
