I was asking about you experience with your SE solid state amp and if you have compared the FO with the SE design (which would mean comparing them with the same speakers).
I don't know what speakers you have. I just mentioned HE speakers because they are usually needed in the realm of SE amps.
OK. I already answered negatively to that, then.
As I said, I may compare them, provided time and energy (second floor system) but I will be wasting 179Watts
For passive multi-way big speakers, I can't imagine better amps right now, though I haven't had the privilege to listen to TSSA.
And FO's price is so low that I can't understand people's hesitation...
Cheers,
M.
I know people happily using the a v2 TSSA on a mid-high way (>150 Hz) with a sensibility of 109 dB/1m, so I guess you would not be the first to be "wasting" watts.
I find the FO 1.4 intriguing and I will most probably grab a pair of modules after completing another (tube amp) project.
Please comment if/when you test!

Hello,
Here are some pictures of my FO 1.4 build
I used the zero switching SMPS from Cresnet, works great.
There's also a softstart module mounted on the back panel, that allows me to use a low DC switch on the front panel and keep all the mains AC wire at the back, far away from signal.
There are also extra CDE LX381 caps on each rail, works great with the SMPS.
The softstart keeps the inrush current at startup low, even with the extra caps.
It is also a very good sounding amplifier
Regards,
Danny

Is 2 x 84 dc Ok? Hmm I thought The L had 4 sets of mosfets?
Yes +/-85 V is OK. First One L has four double die mosfets, two modules on the way so you could inspect them in person. 😎
Balanced input board
Hi All,
i was browsing and saw this input board which accept both balanced and SE using a Neutrik NTL1 transformer, not sure can help anyone just sharing.
