In a related article (that I cannot find anymore) they found a fundamental distance resonance phenomenon at intervals of 57 1/8th where electrons (including those who are degraded to lower sigma electron levels) get a a boost of several levels but restricted to those locations.

Received an informative article written by Roy McCammon - Electrical/Electronics Engineer
What do electrical engineers know that many audiophiles do not?We filter out the best electrons (seven sigma at least) and take them home for our own audio systems. After they get worn out we bring them back the factory and swap them out for new ones. You get the worn out electrons. This is much easier with solid state electronics. That’s why tubes sound better.
A seven sigma electron is good for about 100 hours of use. That takes me several weeks. After 100 hours, it becomes a six sigma electron. We let management use those. We never told them that there was anything better. It takes 200 hours to become a five sigma electron 500 to become a four and so forth. Most people cannot tell the difference between a seven sigma electron and a four sigma electron, so we put four sigma electrons in most consumer audio. We round it out and say that those four sigma electrons will last about 1000 hours. So, don’t leave your solid state audio running when you are not listening to it.
But if you accidentally let your’s run down, you don’t have to replace the whole system. This is the one case where speaker wires really make a difference. We use ion implantation to fill those special speaker cables with seven sigma electrons, so that you can refill your system just by swapping out the speaker wires every 1000 hours or so. We use gold plating on the wires to keep the seven sigma electrons in and keep common environmental electrons out. Those are typically crass one sigma electrons. But, not all gold plated speaker wire is implanted with seven sigma electrons. You should always buy certified gold plated seven sigma speaker wire.
Look at this picture:
Do you see that little notch in the end. That is an electron tunneling filter port that allows seven sigma electrons out and all lessor electrons in. Not every integrated circuit has a notch. Some of them have a dimple. Sometimes, the port is hard to see, but we know where to look.
Edit: A question came up about class A versus class B. With regard to ordinary consumer and audiophile gear (which is so far below my expectations) I have no comment, because it depends too much on other factors and emotions. But if you have access to a supply of seven plus sigma electrons, the situation is different.
As I explained, tubes sound better because we leave the seven sigma electrons in them. But the transistor amps I have at home sound better than tubes because I load them up with seven sigma (and even a few eight and nine sigma electrons). With so many seven plus sigma electrons, I get an inversion where there are more seven plus sigma electrons than there are six sigma electrons. If you then cool the transistors (dry ice temperature is cool enough) you can quantum entangle the electrons in two transistors, if the transistors start out identical enough and if they are used in an identical circuit. As it turns out, the entangled electrons are in anti-symmetry. When one is up the other is down. The transistors can be mode locked out of phase and such that they produce exactly complimentary outputs. This makes it possible to produce a perfect push-pull class B output stage.

The new trade deal with China must include a “Covid Response Repayment Schedule”, or curse for short, a surcharge on EVERY import and when the $6 trillion and counting has been recouped there will hopefully be alternate sources for EVERYTHING that country exports.
The Chinese government sent messages to Chinese nationals all around the world after the outbreak imploring them to buy up and send home all medical supplies they could from the countries they were living in. And they did, depleting global stocks of vital equipment.
I also propose any Chinese national that participated in this be held accountable. Maybe some anti-terrorism laws could be spun here to good effect.
They ALL knew what was going on.
They ALL said to hell with the rest of the world.
Has any mention been made on this forum yet of Chinese “Document Number Nine”?
If I understand this correctly and extrapolate then:
The Europeans can hold the USA accountable for the Spanish Flu that came from America,
The native Indians and the South Americans can hold Europe accountable for the spread of deadly diseases.
Where does it end ?

ICEpower modules inside - excellent value - I use one to power my RP-8060FA's.

Hi Ramesh,
I use one amp which powers both speakers.
Yes, the sound improved with music and movies, you explained them well: ' transparent, impressive soundstage with tight and punchy bass'.
From the specifications the Denon should be equally capable but it's not, the XTZ amp is much better.
-
Hello Ramesh,
The fact that the amplifier is stable down to 2.7 Ω (2 x 460 W) accounts for the 'bigger' sound compared to the Onkyo and the Denon - lots of current available. The amplifier uses Class D modules from ICEpower, which are known here on the forum and are generally well regarded as quality amps.
I just noticed that the XTZ wesite reduced the price to 395€ - that is a very very good price for this amp.
-
Hello,
I was not happy with the performance of my Denon AVR4300H and bought the XTZ A2-300 as external power amp.
The XTZ is connected permanently to the pre-out of the Denon powering the main speakers (Klipsch RP-8060FA).
The sound improved remarkedly especially with the reproduction of the lower frequencies. Note that I don't use a subwoofer, so the amplifier has to provide all the grunt.
I recommend this amplifier unreservedly – excellent performance especially when taking the price into account.

Yes, I have seen such a warning and it was real. It was on a Telarc recording of the 1812 Overture. The dynamic range was extreme and the boom from the cannon is capable of plopping your woofer cones onto the floor if you use too much power. Like turntable rumble, ultra low frequencies, that your speakers can't reproduce, can still damage the woofers.
I still have that, 40 years old, record somewhere - impressive groove, deviates more than 1 mm during that cannon shot If I remember correctly 🙂

We are #1, but not in good way.
I don't think the number of confirmed cases is a reliable parameter, too much depends on the amount of testing itself -> no tests = no cases.
OTOH this curve is worrisome.

IMO - the RP's are the better speaker over the R-26F no doubt. I even found the bookshelf RP-160M better than my R-26F
-
It seems the base is missing on your RP-160M, but the picture is too dark to be sure.
-
You should measure the base, the base is wider than the top.

There is a thread on the internet where someone linked 'Nights in White Satin' with his brother singing out loud to his girlfriends.
Now I can't hear that song without thinking about that story ... OMG

Confused.
When you remove the small black and red dust caps a banana plug can be inserted.
Example from my RP-8060FA's:

Kris,
my speakers are mounted flush against the wall (both speakers).
So I do have a certain boundary gain but not a corner boundary gain.
I read now that your speakers are positioned a certain distance from the wall, which might be the reason of the higher cross-over and in line with the info in the first reply from garyrc
-
Audyssee measures my RP-240's at 80Hz - sometimes 90Hz - the speakers are mounted in the middle of a long wall so no boundary gains to be expected.
I would suggest to put your amplifier in all-channels mode (or connect the RP-240's temporarily as main speakers) and play music loud for a while to loosen the woofers as I remember that my speakers measured higher than 80Hz in the beginning as well.
It is not a good idea to lower the cross-over frequency manually because Audyssee does not provide correction below the auto-measured value (setting the cross-over frequency manually higher is not problematic).
-
I have no idea if the paint can be removed but if not you could paint the other one as well - first in white for the same undercoating and then in any color you fancy.

That would work.
Allthough I would first use the 730 and 600 before adding that 3 ch amp.

You are left with 4 small holes on the underside from the wood screws, so basically - no, not affected.
What I do wonder is; if you mount them to the wall, with the backside against the wall then the port on the back is closed off and that will have an effect.
