Tom Benson is my area rep for the Dolby Lake Processor, and while I was squeezing one of those out of him he asked if I wanted anything else he reps, which happens to include Powersoft. |

...Well, the K10 offers a whole 6dB more power over what I'm used to at 8 ohms, enough juice to turn most speakers to steam if you're not careful....While it performed brilliantly at Wedge Fest, giving us the closest thing to unlimited power I have ever experienced... |

I think that is a propriatary Powersoft connector. I've never seen another quite like it. Can anyone confirm or deny? |

We'll see what Lee Ann Womack's engineer has to say tonight. |

Final note: Why no banana plugs? Different standards in Europe? |

Hey Paul, glad it worked out so well for you! I believe the reason you don't get banana plugs is because they're a little too close to the size and shape of a european mains connector for comfort... especially when you're selling amps to europe. |

No, it's just because we don't use them anymore. The only place you see banana plugs in on hi-fi seperates. I haven't seen a banana plug for years. |

Well, I guess it is time that I stand up and be known. Hi everyone - It's me Sara - to some of you known as the Beer and Gear Gal. Thank you mister Stachowski! Anyway, I am the Roadtest Coordinator for this forum and thought that it might be useful for me to start posting. I am hoping that everyone out there that reads the posts is getting some useful information from the gentlemen who are putting the gear through it's paces. Manufacturers - I hope that you are getting some useful information from our Road Testers with regards to feedback on what they like and questions on what they may or may-not understand about the product. Manufacturers please feel free to post as a matter a fact I encourage it. Which is why I am writing this after Tom's post. Thanks Tom - Road Testers, if you have questions on the product please ask - so the mystique may be dispelled with the input from the manufacturer. Over and out - I am getting this posting this down - it's fun. |

Hi JR, nice to see you responding to my post - I see your words of wisdom often, you're more than welcome to partake of all the Beer that a road test event has available. Ah, what the heck, if you Road Test some gear and post like a banchi, I will personally make sure that you can road test all the beer you want. Hope that you guys will not mind my light hearted muse to lighten the threads of "serious" road test business. |

Where is the beer stand in those pictures?? |

Just to the left, actually, but they only have beer-flavored water, as far as I'm concerned. The amps are as impressive as you believe... we've got some bench testing scheduled to make sure they'll walk the walk. Right now Gian Portanova has 'em... maybe if I invoke his name he'll tell us what he's been doing with them? |
Sara Elliott wrote on Fri, 15 December 2006 16:25 |
Thank you Bennett - Gian - what have you been up to with those bad boys? I am sure it has been more than just to power a rig and run Christmas carols through it for the office party and/or power the tree lights. I would love to hear some perils of wisdom. |

Hi Sara, Definitely a capable sub amp. There is enough voltage swing to take peak clip-limiting out of the equation. Sound is "tighter", which I think is characteristic of CLASS D amps compared to linear amps (my theory). >>>more to come... |

Would this observation be measurable as a faster rise time? Just curious. How much steady state power (24/7/365) can it deliver at 240v in bridge mode? Willing to guess? -Bink |

Hi JR, I guess I based my theory during an experiment by connecting a sub woofer directly to CLASS D amp with minimal LPF. At this point your mention of the white paper (lower impedance) definitely applies. While a general purpose amp will have a more complex LPF, I think the lower impedance stage benefits are still realized. The PSU I beleive contributes much to the sound qualities in amps (PWM or analog). So that also applies to my thoery! Happy "Holidays"! GPP |

Im really skeptical about the whole 12,000 watts 96% efficient yadayada yada. Could some one please just send pink noise turned up to 11 and measure the output with an RMS voltmeter? Its really easy to hit 12,000 watts if one uses a VERY short burst rather than a steady source. best- |
