I have tried quite a few low power amps with my CF3's. I've had a 5 watt to 30 watt tube amps, 8 watt Class T amps. A couple of Topping T amps, spec'd at 50 watts at 4 ohms and 25 at 8ohms. I have a Class D amp now from Nobsound that uses the TP3255 chip, that says 300 watts per side, but is nowhere near that. They all sounded really nice on the Epics and of course the Class T and Class D amps stay cool to the touch. This is what I have now. https://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-Power-Amplifier-Stereo-Desktop/dp/B08GQL6BJJ/ref=sr_1_31?crid=XOQA59DVM6JD&keywords=nobsound+tp3255&qid=1646689752&sprefix=nobsound+tp3255%2Caps%2C203&sr=8-31

I 'm sure I've posted this before. I have this concert on disc and was listening to and watching it last night. For those who love your speakers just bangin, Ginger Baker on da Drums. https://youtu.be/4Gze0PxDKgQ

I See Good Health Coming Your Way.🙏

Included with this system are 6 KW-120 subs. That should satisfy most bass needs, I would think. https://www.avsforum.com/threads/entire-klipsch-thx-ultra2-system.3237576/#post-61491753

For those in Texas, who may want a THT Tuba. $400 bucks. That seems like a nice price. He has a link to the build thread with pics. https://www.avsforum.com/threads/for-sale-tht-tuba-ht-subwoofer-for-sale-in-piano-finish.3220280/#post-61485784

He is selling an entire system with that asking price. he is asking $1800 for the speakers alone.

Lol, well, I wouldn’t make any definitive decisions based on a bum note from that one particular sub.. A cool thing about SVS is their nice return policy.

Just some neighborhood rust bucket I took a pic of during a walk one fine day.

😀

I've posted this little tune before. For those who like to hear their subs doing some wall shaking pounding for the neighbors to enjoy.

Now for something a little different. One thing from the vid is that Yamaha knows how to make a piano.

Taken a couple of weeks ago. The group in the wet suits were traveling from Germany and here for the first time. we chatted briefly as they made their way to the beach.

Here are some older measurements done by Ricci from Data-bass for their ported 15" sub that i found. https://www.avsforum.com/threads/rythmik-audio-fv15-hp-data-bass-test-results.1342986/#post-20602934

One sub brand worth looking into is Rythmik. This one, hits your price point, it's sealed, has a 15" driver and is spec'd at 3db down at 14 hz. They also hold their value very well when the desire to sell arises. https://www.rythmikaudio.com/F15HP.html

Heard a song of hers in the car the other day. I remember when she first appeared on the scene. Fiona Apple.

Yep, just like many Klipsch speakers. Going up in value as the years pass by.

On a side note, some 18 years ago, wanted to explore Class A amps and the Forte Model 4 was just in the perfect price range at the time. Bought one off of Audiogon for $400 bucks. Kept it for about 2 years and resold it on the site for $450. Now, one recently sold on Ebay for $939. I guess I should have kept it a little longer. lol https://www.ebay.com/itm/175074021496?hash=item28c3399078%3Ag%3ABFgAAOSwIVZhwNn3&nma=true&si=fbJGypN1GI7Nac145yDU9CZQcgI%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

If you could be happy with a pair of CF3's instead, there is a pair for sale in San Jose, Ca. https://www.ebay.com/itm/353859854508?hash=item5263b0e0ac:g:aqAAAOSwcCth48Ck

The dynamic range web page linked above is a pretty good reference for seeking out the better recorded discs. here's is some more info. https://sites.google.com/site/dbremaster/home/-loudness-war-and-the-dynamic-range-dr-database---some-observations

Listening to Pandora on my Squeezebox Touch, a station of mine titled -Lisa Gerrard. This song comes up from time to time though haven't heard it in years. Grabs me from the first note and always find it moving. Mazzy Star, Into Dust.

Went to a Magnolia today and gave a listen to some B&W 802 Diamonds, powered by a pair of 500 watt Mcintosh Monos, Mac preamp, SVS SB16 Ultra sub, a $3200 dollar power conditioner, forgot the brand name. They had Tidal and played a couple of songs I listen to regularly, one being from The Marias, Hush. The sub distorted and had to turn it down, the sound of this system on the two tracks I heard, nothing to write home about. Not selling my Epics, powered by a Crown K2 for em. 🤘 Later.

I saw that too and fixed it. 😀

One word that comes to mind as I listened. <Lush> The Sound Sommelier. A comment below the vid asks, What do you use to record your vids, the best sound on Youtube. it is pretty good.
