You have the best sayings Ralph, zombie thread, expectation bias ect you should write a book on sayings. At first I thought you meant they were all zombies and can’t read graphs. Now I see that the thread is 2008 old, then my post is directed just at the last poster. Cheers George |
No, these SE's tubes won't drive the 7's impedance in the bass. They may sound ok in the mids and highs. The 7's are the best of all the Watt/puppy's, but also hard to drive in the bass to get the very best out of. You need an amp that is very happy to see a 2ohm load at bass frequencies and power levels, usually a solid state amp domain. https://www.stereophile.com/images/archivesart/Wilfig1.jpg From Stereophile: " The Wilson Audio WATT/Puppy 7's However, also like its predecessor, it will need a good high-current amplifier before it can be driven to satisfying levels. Its impedance drops to 2.4 ohms at 78Hz and remains below 6 ohms for much of the region where music has its maximum energy (fig.1). In addition, an impedance of 4 ohms at 59Hz is associated with an electrical phase angle of -34 degrees, which will add to the drive difficulty. Cheers George |
