Post Subject: Amplifier Speaker MatchingPosted by Amir on: 10/30/2023
Paul I do not know what happen between amplifier and speaker but I think matching of amplifier and speaker is one of the most important things is audio. matching is not just about dynamics/driving or having enough power , it is about perfect bass and Perfect tone/harmonics and perfect coherency. In my opinion DPOLS (room speaker interaction), AC Power Quality and Amplifier/Speaker matching all are the most important factors for having magical result.


in this market very few amplifier/speakers are good match together.
to consider about matching in other area like Transport/DAC I have compared over 6 different expensive DACs with CEC TL0 3.0 and I think CEC is not perfect match for all of them.
I am not sure but it seems CEC TL0 likes DACs with richer midbass. one of the things that make me wonder about Romy's complex System is how Romy find perfect match in all area (Transport/DAC/Pre/Power/Speaker). as you know Romy uses different brands (CEC-Bidat-Lavry- Guy Hammel’s Placette-DIY Pre/phono/amp-Vitavox-RAAL) in each section. increasing complexity of system makes it so hard to have perfect sound. Peter Qvortrup told me matching of midrange driver to tweeter is not easy task and imagine how it will be hard to match 5 or 6 different drivers. minimalist approach does not give us perfect performance in all area but it gives us easy way to have reasonable good sound.
