In the Thread: Initial thoughts about new/old Lamm ML2s
Post Subject: 295 mV, of course; sorry readers (hope no one blew anything up...)Posted by Paul S on: 8/11/2007
Romy, at some point you did mention lowering current and shortly thereafter, if not in the same post, you added something to the effect of raising voltage. You even mentioned values you have tried, and I printed it out. But since I am usually pretty cautious, I took care to hold VA at or below stock, as you observed. I did not have any preconceptions but went with what worked best for tone, and the bass was a bonus.
As for the BR bass, I think of basketball there, too, as though you slam the ball down at the floor, but the floor moves away slightly as the ball starts to touch it. No, my bass is not the best, but the ML2 does a remarkable job with it, considering, and I have been futzing with foam inserts to +/- plug the vents, for reasons other than extension.
I would be interested to know if you can get good results with SET on your sealed units? I have thought for a long time that either a "mostly sealed" unit or a non-greedy sealed would be best, practically speaking, but I never played much with the practical limits of sealed, at keeping the drivers "off the air cushion". At this stage of my journey I am just glad that the ML2 can drive the BR about as well as can be done, given the built-in limits of both designs.
Let the suckers jump on the ML3. I'm holding out for the ML3.1!
BTW, I have a "funny story" about losing track of a decimal on my Fluke DMM when testing (and then installing) some plate resistors...
Best regards,
Paul S
