Guys, just wanted to find out if you have blown a speaker with this amp, regardless of amp settings?
I am asking this on the back of a blown speaker which is rated at 75W and kinda feeling bummed about it because it is one of those rare occasions where I get to crank the amp and the speaker...
To add to the discussion, when the volume level is low, the effect of the bright cap evident.
As you turn up the volume, the effect of the bright cap is less. I believe this was the motivation to the DIY mods that are popular around here.
Used to train Kyokushin for about a year and a half. Enjoyed it somewhat and I am now looking for another martial art to train in.
Considering either wingchun or boxing.
Really looking forward to hear this amp in the same room and not through some demos.
Also, I think the point that a previous poster made about the amp retaining qualities like single coil feeling like a single coil etc. will be crucial for me.
Could it be your amp settings?
I have found that when the volumes are raised, certain settings ie TMB need to be tweaked.
Moving the amp into a different room also requires that small tweak. Sometimes, even raising the amp off the floor also changes the sound quite dramatically.
Just be careful of the power valves as you pull out the original speaker.
Also certain screws may be hard to tighten after you've replaced it with your new speaker.
+1 to the comment about *best* being subjective.
Other members have contributed the speakers that they have tried and liked and I would like to share as well.
For my home use, I find that the Eminence Reignmaker to be a good fit as I am able to dial down the volume while raise the amp controls
Hi all,
Just dropping in to let you know that I've biased my DSL40C yesterday and it went well without a hitch. Plate voltage was at 486V for both power tubes and biased them to about 36mV.
Thanks to all of you guys because without this forum and all the pictures involved, I don't think that I...
