The load is pretty easy. just innefcient. 75w rms was the recomended as enough to get a decent level without risk of clipping the amp. I am just after something with low THD etc. These are just portable speakers for when I take my dubplate lathe on the road. I have a couple of pairs of SCM50s...

I dont have ears that can really hear the difference between amps, unless they are really shoddy designs (amstrad lol) of course, but so long as the power is there that should be enough for me :) I am currently running them of a prosound cheap PA amp, and my mate had no idea until the fan came...

Hi I am loking for a hifi amp which can put out a true &%watt continuous onto nominal 8ohm load. Something that isn't going to break the bank. Any suggestions? Its for a pair of ATC SCM11s Thanks

I have often wandered this. If our eyesight is so easily tricked, what about our hearing? When you consider how much of our brain is used for vision, and how little for hearing, and how blunt and generaly rubbish our hearing is in comparrison. Our hearing is as bad and unreliable as my spelling!

with all due respect, I was answering a question on a forum, not writing a thesis on the audio signal chain. I stand by my point. If you want to muck about with the miniscule to the point of being inaudable differences that various different CD players make, then go ahead, be my guest. But a...

I too write music, and can safely say, avoid anything with a fan! Even a quiet fan, is too much. Some old Yamaha studio amps on eBay that would do the trick.

@happy listener judging by your profile picture, too old for you ;) I am pleased that the response has been good so far. When I get home from work, and can sit in front of my laptop and not on my phone, I shall write a bit more.

oops, autocreect on my phone! Chebby, what about a Matisse exhebition at the tate? Is that something that would interest you and get you to London?

Good start so far. Chenny, what are your thoughts on Matisse? There's a great exhibition on at the rate at the moment? As for venues, a studio sounds like a good idea. I'll have a look around, see what I can find. One slightly expensive option, could be to hire the anachoic chamber at UCL for...

Anyone up for conducting a double blond listening test? We could hold it in London, and create a series of double blond tests testing cables of all descriptions, DACs, purifiers, etc? All the usual things that cause the arguments on here? We could have a nice civil experiment, then all go get...

Buy these for 1500 then buy 3 amps, and an active crossover with the other 1500 you will have the best system for miles around http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Quested-215-ATC-monitors-speakers-RARE-/261486782068?pt=UK_AudioVideoElectronics_HomeAudioHiFi_HiFiSpeakers&hash=item3ce1d3a674

If you look at the list of people using the cables on their site, they are almost all musicians, not studios or engineers. Musicians are often far more in the subjectavist camp than the engineers who actually produce the record and are responsible for making the musician sound good. They really...

I am only on here sporadically, so haven't seen this. Any chance you could find for me again? I know its a pain, but I would be interested to see. thank you :) All the studios I have been or worked in, have all used cables that are durable, as they get switched around a lot, but have never used...

You haven't been to any recording studios, have you?
