I've got an issue with the SVS MTS-01. My puny 4310 can't drive it efficiently. Luckily, help is on hand. My friend happily lend me his Rotel RB-1080 to drive it. Now, sonically better. Forward sounding, punchier bass note and expansive staging. Yet, not to the fullest yet.

I suspect it needs something above 250W to make it work above 90%.

87dB but impedance is 4~6ohms, which is quite pwr sapping even though its power handling is 20-250W.

When I ran my auddysey previously, it detects these as full range speakers. What I knew is that 4310 aint up to the task. Time to scout for beefy power amp liao.

That's why. I am so used to 95dB and above (Klipsch) but AQ is miles apart lah.

WOW! I did not know that my brain can send those subsonic freq waves all the way to Penang

Not keeping it as it is too reflective for my pj room.

Unless I cover the sides of the loudspeakers. The piano finish is jsut too reflective. Need to get rosenut finishing

My bad, always 'encode' wrong message. Sorry for misleading you.

The last time when I mentioned 'clean', someone mistook it as the characterisctic of the avr. What I meant was that it is free from 'coloration' and loss of details that are associated with 'peaks' and 'valleys'. What is the correct term to use?

Wonder if there is a dictionary for music / home theatre jargons, easy for us.

I thought your Def Tech STS is an active loudspeakers, no?

At the 1st place, I thought Def Tech STS is an active loudspeakers. IIRC, Mythos is 8ohm with fairly good sensitivity. Above 91dB, if not mistaken. So, probably the improvement is not much with a power amp. Unless, we are talking about 4-6ohm with 86-<no spam links>.

In his case, if he still want to proceed with it, I vouch him to get XPA3 from mpyw. Won't be that damaging to his wallet

On another note, I am eyeing a Krell power amp; 250W/ch

bro pierreye, any new toys lately?
