X-SOZ... just a dream for now

[Giacomo Pagani]

Yes, that's right. But I have enough plugs, that's not the problem... my problems are bigger. Cost, dimension (placement), weight, WAF, skill for building the case (very hard I see), finding parts and maybe something else...

I think there's enough pain....

Cheers

When you need to buy two of them, in germany you pay about 500 Euro/$ for both

I suggest using 2 or 3 toroids per channel, each 800W , about 56 Euro at Reichelt

..yes, it will be a heavy duty mechanical job, you need equipment for making it. a solder gun, only is not enough. and you will need any Euro, the more power, the more expensive.
I calculated my X Soz for about 150 to 180 lbs -per channel!

I think a aleph x should be as good or better, and way cheaper.
Next time i start building my first aleph x.

An Aleph-X?

I don't know, do you think it's better?

If a 50W XSOZ is too much for me, I would think about scaling down the output power, not changing amp.

I haven't looked at Aleph-X yet, is it still no-feedback?

I have to decide carefully, I thought that SOZ was the "cleanest" Pass Amp (simplest ecc. ecc.), with the only problems of little power and low damping factor... isn't it right?

I know that there are several versions of Alephs too...

I'll take a look on the thread.

Cheers

Little power and low dumping factor are not problems in itself, the just reduce the number of potential "marriages" with loudspeakers... they need the right mate... but you already have the right one.

Do not make a 50 watt SOZ or XSOZ. 20 watts is the most you should make. Beyond this it will not play much louder. It just makes lots of heat. And making a 20 watts SOZ is still fairly large to make.

...i think with your laura speakers a 10 watts xSoz wil be more than enough

Ralf

[Giacomo Pagani]

You're right Roberto, I know that I've got the right speakers for a SOZ. That's why I'd prefer it to an Aleph.

I'm seriously thinking about scaling down the power rating...
Maybe 20 or 30 watts, as Gnomus said.

I'd prefer something more than 10 watts, Ralf, so I'll be sure to avoid problems while listening to my favourite rock groups
I don't think that 20 watts is impossible.

As usual, thank you all for your kind attention.
