    Kenwood Super Eleven, build vs design quality

    My speakers have a simple crossover design ,after more research I found that around that time period a lot of manufacturers used a lot of negative feedback to get low distortion numbers that looked impressive . Hans Beekhuyzen a Youtube equipment and sound expert and many others say a lot of...

    Kenwood Super Eleven, build vs design quality

    I have a Super Eleven GX It is the most impressive looking piece of equipment I own but not the best sounding. I used it to drive my Ohm Walsh 2 speakers but they did not sound nearly as good as they did at Tech HiFi so I blamed poor room acoustics. After about 6 years of use I got a Carver...

    Todays Speakers vs Vintage Speakers

    Yes Ohm says I can upgrade my speakers to the latest version for $1.400 if I replace the parts myself and that will get me lower bass and higher highs and to be honest a few times I wished for lower lows like for Rick Wakemans organ pedals but for a fraction of that I could get a subwoofer...

    You don't imagine it has the dynamic headroom of conventional amps and you're right it has way more Bob found that to recreate the sound of a scissor snap you momentarily need over 2000 watts and while most amplifiers are incapable of this feat for enen a millisecond his m1.5t amp can for...

    Ohm Walsh 2

    With a god amp or receiver they sound great ,with proper placement they disappear as a sound source with good imaging and a wide sweet spot ,and they can do rock and electronic with tight accurate bass but if you are looking for a lot of bass look elsewhere but if you can get them for 300 that...
