T-Amp good for Epos ELS-3

dudesinmexico · 4th September 2006, 08:28 AM

I have a pair of Epos ELS-3 driven by a Creek 4330 integrated amplifier. I would like to experiment with one of these T-amps like those from 41hz.com but I am not sure if they would be a good match with my speakers. Their sensitivity is 87.5dB(B)/2.83V/m.
Any recommendations?

thanks

I see you have had no replies so far. I would have thought that you would get reasonable volume out of them unless you have a very large room to fill.

I use Monitor Audio monitor 1's which are around 87-88db and get reasonable levels in a room 14' x 16'.
I also have a pair of early Musical Technology Kestrels of about 84-85db and get as you would expect slightly quiter results but with more bass end.

Amps used are 41hz Amp 3 and Amp 6. I have a number of different psu's in use and find that I can get the same kind of overall sound levels even running as low as 9v from a 1.6A smps and 18,000mfd of bulk capacitor at the Amp 3. Sounds sweet as well!

I use a couple of modified S.I amps (slightly different input caps and stiffener caps) and a stock Autocostruire 2020. I use 3 different power supplies (switch mode, battery and mains) all give a similar signature, but the battery with 13,600uf of smoothing with bypass caps seems to win it. I use Mission floorstanders, said to be 89db with good results.

I also tried the S.I with some 500 watt coffin sized P.A speakers (92db) with great results. It was impossible to turn it up full in a room 25 feet by 20. The amount of detail was amazing (15" bass, midrange horn and 5 bullet tweeters in each !)
