Andy Lyngdorf’s RoomPerfect is one of the best room correction technologies out there allowing the speakers to be positioned close to the wall.

Interesting, H. But does it include soundstage depth optimisation in its room correction algorithm? Or merely FR? Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me low impedance low efficiency speakers usually don’t go well with tube amps. But until i hear the combo - which may never happen - I’ll reserve comment. Quad 57 impedance curve, high impedance at most frequencies suiting valve amps, but low impedance at high frequencies, and reactive http://www.justrealmusic.com/content/measurements.htm Arguably the finest midrange to date, of any loudspeaker. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stacked Quads - verrry nice! Are they connected in series or in parallel, each side? And what amp is driving this setup? Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's the: ** solid line then: in series you get max impedance of 60 ohms @ 40 Hz / min impedance of 2 ohms @ 17kHz and in parallel, you get max impedance of 15 ohms @ 40 Hz / min impedance of 0.5 ohms @ 17kHz ** dotted line then: in series you get max impedance of 60 ohms @ 40 Hz / min impedance of 6 ohms @ 17kHz and in parallel, you get max impedance of 15 ohms @ 40 Hz / min impedance of 1.5 ohms @ 17kHz. Either way - they would seem to need a very special amp! Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
