    B&W 706 S3 Impedance

    I swapped one, but then the second blew. And for a second time, only the second kept blowing. They are related to the V+ and V- and not particularly to any channel as I understand. They are there to protect the MOSFETs (all four of them)….and nothing more 😆

    B&W 706 S3 Impedance

    The connectors go through a small panel secured with torx screws. I might open that up to check. But also a troubleshooting protocol on what to check from B&W would be nice too :)

    B&W 706 S3 Impedance

    Hi guys, Sorry for the super late reply, didn´t follow the thread since my email kinda skipped on the updates from the post. I obviously measured the impedance with the speakers disconnected, and I´m also aware that it changes with frequency. It´s a cheap method, but a straightforward one to...

    B&W 706 S3 Impedance

    Hi guys, A quick question here (even though B&W states a minimum impedance of 3.7Ohm...) I just measured my pair of BW 706 S3, and one measures 8ohm and the other 4,5. Is that common in a pair of speakers?? Wouldn´t it make the amp work "twice" as hard on one side than on the other? Asking...

    QAcoustics 3050i with Pro ject Maia S3

    Hi! I’m interested in getting the Klipsches, but the price plus the stands is almost like the 3050i’s

    QAcoustics 3050i with Pro ject Maia S3

    Thanks for this comprehensive answer. That’s what actually wad fearing of, but hoped that the sensitivity of the 3050s would help a bit. I’m not a loud listener, but it’s always good to have some extra oomph, especially when these floorstanders are so close in price/performance to bookshelf size...

    Super! Thanks a lot. Ill shoot for the 3050is then, and I’ll keep in mind the tip about the plug.

    QAcoustics 3050i with Pro ject Maia S3

    Hi all, Maybe asking an obvious question, but with no experience whatsoever for an obvious answer :) I’m trying to upgrade my micro hifi system and turntable, and thought of the Pro ject Maia S3 with 23w per channel @8ohms. Since my chosen Klipsch 600 speakers + stands are quite at the same...
