Built a pair of F4's paralleled as monoblocks. Lots of time on my hands these days (ha!) -
They are killer -- almost imperceptibly less transparent than my OTL's - and those take a massive amount of power (and money) to run. Quicker than my OTL's, not as liquid as my SE amps -- but more far slam than them, even with 25W (solid state watts, which ARE different)......
Hey, this wasn't meant to be a review......sorry.
Got a small (teeny - tiny) hum from one of the monoblocks, only noticeable at close range to my Lowthers - (not with my other speakers).
hey, we all know how sensitive Lowthers are -- and I've got a choice, since I'm assuming there's a less than perfect PS cap in there somewhere. Anyone think it could be something else? (bad ground?)
I can swap 'em all out, or just forget it. I'm anal, and like I said, got lots of time on my hands these days. Once the music's playing, at any level, you can't hear it.
What would you do?
