| AbeCollins's Main Basement Audio System | |
| IP Address: 73.229.163.4 | Last Update: December 09, 2024 at 18:13:57 |
| Amplifier: | December 2024 Roon Software 2.0 is my platform center piece for music library management, navigation, and playback including Tidal and Qobuz streaming services. Roon additionally streams my personal library from my Synology NAS to my mobile phone while on the go via the Roon ARC App. The basement audio setup: - Synology NAS Roon Server in basement utility room - Mac Mini streamer and alternate Roon Server - Eversolo DMP-A8 Streamer / DAC / Preamp - NAD C298 Purifi Eigentakt Class D Amp - Tannoy Definition D500 Speakers - SVS SB-1000 Pro Subs not always ON - - - - - Rogue Cronus Magnum alternate tube amp - PS Audio NuWave DSD alternate DAC - SMSL D400EX alternate DAC       |
| Preamplifier (or None if Integrated): | - Eversolo DMP-A8 Streamer/DAC/Preamp has a dedicated preamp section with relay switched stepped attenuator with analog XLR & RCA inputs |
| Speakers: | Tannoy Definition D500: Mfg recommended 30 to 175w RMS. 6 Ohm nom, 4 Ohm min, 91db/m/w sensitivity, 8" dual concentric mid driver (brass tweeter in center), 8" bass driver. Crossover type: 1st order LF, 1st order HF. These speakers sound better with more than the recommended minimum of 30-Watts. Thiel CS2.4: Three-way, floorstanding loudspeaker. Drive-units (all anodized aluminum): 1" (25mm) dome tweeter coincident with 3.5" (114mm) cone midrange; 8" (204mm) cone woofer; 8.5" by 11" (230mm) passive radiator. Crossover frequencies: 800Hz, 2.5kHz. Crossover slopes: acoustic first-order, 6dB/octave. Frequency response: 36Hz-25kHz, +/- 2dB. Phase response: minimum phase, +/-5 deg. Impedance: 4 ohms nominal, 3 ohms minimum. Sensitivity: 87dB/2.83V/m. Recommended power: 100-400W. In storage at the moment. The Thiels sound better with much more than the recommended minimum of 100-Watts. [Not in use at the moment] I believe that most speaker manufacturers want their product to appeal to the widest possible audience so their minimum power recommendation is probably a stretch. Sure they'll play fine with power at the lower end of the recommended scale but in both cases my Tannoys and Thiels really "come alive" with more power. SVS SB-1000 Pro: Gloss black subwoofers x2 in the room. Not always in use. |
