raypenn Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 I thought that the Teac A-L700P tripath amp was discontinued. I learned that, in fact, it is available once again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBrennan Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 Good, I'll buy another and a DOD and bi-amp my 605s. You listenin' Dean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Dee Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 I also thought it was discontinued. Where can you find it for $100? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerwoodKhorns Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 How do you bi-amp with a set of ALK's (Type A's or ESN's)? I think that I can scrape up another hundred bucks. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfogg Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 "How do you bi-amp with a set of ALK's (Type A's or ESN's)? I think that I can scrape up another hundred bucks." You don't. When you bi-amp for real you use line level crossovers and get rid of the speaker level crossovers. Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erukian Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 He can vertical bi-amp, which is just running the left channel to one amp, the right to the other. But if your going to do a normal bi-amp. Definately make sure the tripath is in control tweeter/mid horns -Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfogg Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 I don't think the ALKs support that type of bi-amping. And really there is little point in that type of bi-amping, esp. with efficient speakers. Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erukian Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 From what I heard, bi-amping with speaker's like klipsch is so you can mix and match two amp's sound signatures. Like say you LOVE a certian solid state device for it's bass but the high's are "grainy" and "irritating". Then just hook up a tube amp or a tripath to the high crossover. In the heritage line, yep, no biamping, but the RF7's and any reference line speaker does it. If you dont have the set of two binding posts you can still vertical bi-amp.

Born2RockU Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 As far as the 3-channel Teac AL700-P is concerned... ...I stocked up the first time around , w/ 4 units, just-incase they did discontinue. I want these baby's in my life for a long time !!! They are just amazing, ...no matter the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others may have them also, but I know Needledoctor just received a large shipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erukian Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 For a laptop? Get the sonic impact T-amp, that way you can power it off batteries and w/ high efficiency speakers they should play for quite a while. I hope you know how bad a laptop is as a source. You literally have to invest $150 into a computer soundcard to turn it into a decent source. Or buy a USB DAC. Comparing a great DAC to a crappy one in a portable cdplayer is a bigger difference than any amp or preamp can make. I say that rather boldly, but i've heard the difference myself, i've read other's talk about how huge it is. So please, 192 VBR mp3's bare minimum, get a decent USB soundcard from like one of the portable m-audio's then you'll be rolling out some clean tunes -Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
