Jinjuku Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Take a guess what the distortion #'s are on you speakers... I wouldn't worry about 0.2% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 its the factor that is the issue... sure you can say, well... 27% of zero is still zero. But really 27%(.27) is about 40 times the THD of the 8ohm load(.007*40). now if you run a single set of two speakers @ 8ohms, I guess you are good to go(as I would be also), but if you run more than 2 8ohm speakers you are at 4ohm minimal load consistently. I need to look elsewhere. I am thinking about staying with class D Ice based Amps because the floor is so effing outstanding... black on black on blackness. Either that or I need to spring for the big boys... the X1's even Paul was into SS so... [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinjuku Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I guess if you can hear it. It's just not the only # to be concerned with luckily Emotiva isn't the only game in town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ski Bum Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Take a guess what the distortion #'s are on you speakers... I recall the old Julian Hirsch review of the forte, and measured THD (at 90db, 1m) was ridiculously low, <0.2% above 50 hz, with a max of 1.2% at 23 hz. I'll make a wild guess: the Heritage and other Extended Heritage speakers perform similarly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
