Topic: Speakers for T-amp

[oweidah]

mga masters,

agen, agen, agen. opinion poll lang

if u were in my shoes having a charlize and an SI, would you:

1. get a bw602s3
2. diy a fostex based speakers (FE167E) + a 10-12k worth sub

the above choices will cost more or less 26k which is the budget that i wanted to burn. the proposed setup is for audio listening only. i listen to different types of music, sometimes even r n b's. this will be placed in a 5x5 mtr room.

salamat po.

Has anyone paired a pair of Monitor Audio B2 or B4 speakers with the SI T-amp?  Your feedback would be highly appreciated.

B2 is a bookshelf 90db 6ohms
B4 is a floorstander 91db 6ohms

Thanks

I tried the B2 on SI. Just me, but didnt like it. I liked Missions better.

Take note that the above opinion is subjective. It still depends on your ears. Who knows you might like it.

Been auditioning speakers for T-amps lately. Used Mission M52 before, it was great! but I sold it already.

Consider auditioning DALI Ikon2 and Ikon6. I think these are very easy to drive, most specially Ikon 6 even though it is a floorstander.

Available at Architectural Audio.

Ikon 2 was great, sounded great my dual T-amps

That Usher speaker I borrowed from Akyatbundok sounded great even w/ only 1 T-amp!

Mission Volare V61 sounded good, but @ 87db, minsan di kaya w/ 2 T-amps.

Castle Richmond 3i--ganda!

Klipsch RB-3 (94dB)

Has anyone tried this w/ T-amps?

I'm presently using an 8" Dai-ichi full range driver mounted on a DIY Folded TQWT enclosure for my 2a3 amp, using the MathCad sheet of Martin King.   If any of you are interested, I can send you the basic design. 

By the way, not all 8" dai-ichi full range drivers can be used for this enclosure design. 

Also, I've posted some tweaks on this particular 8" driver on Wiredstate.com.   

Cheers.

We have sold to many customers who use t-amp with F5000R.  Might want to throw that speakers in the mix.  From a price point standpoint, it matches too

Hi MatZTER,

Thanks

quad 12L - can do - single or dual stealthmodded t-amp 

locally available speakers - klipsch or diy fostex preferably high sensitivity (92db+) bookshelves-easy to drive but 88-90db is just fine with me since hindi naman pang rakrakan.

Among the 3 it was the Castle Richmond 3i. Tied very closely in first place was the Hyperion from AA , it can scream w/ 1 T-amp only. I used Bada Tube pre amp. You can audition your T-amp plus Bada pre amp & Hyperion at Architectural Audio.

Dear MatZTER,

Pwede ba wharfedale 8.1 sa tamp considering that its only 86db? Pag nahirapan i-drive, whats the effect on the sound?  thx

For as long as you maintain soft listening level (below 1W), 8.1 will sound good. Loud volume will have audible distortions and compression that your ear may not tolerrate.

[JoeyGS]

aHobbit is right.  But the best is to test and hear for yourself because I also have tried other speakers with higher db (say 88 to 90db) and also does not work.  You will encounter clipping and distortion when you increase the volume beyond 10 o'clock on the dial.

On the other hand, B&W 303s and the Aurum Cantus f5000r bookshelfs work well with the t-maps and they are rated at 88 and 89db respectively.
