The diyAudio First Watt M2x

Bi Amp with M2x

I am curious if anyone has bi amped their speaker system with the M2x. What are your thoughts? What did it do for you?

Or, perhaps the 6x24 xover NP designed. Not sure I really understand what the sonic differences would be. They certainly function differently.

Thanks,
Don
 
I just learned there is a mistake in the IPS7 parts list attached to the post #3408:
Mouser part for the sockets indicated in the list is 110-87-304-41-001101, but this has 4 pins in total, not 8. The correct part should be 437-110-87-308-41-001101.
Had to learn it the hard way - looking at the part in the pack from Mouser. IPS7 for my M2X will have to be delayed until I get the right ones 🙁

Thanks for catching that. The wrong part number was on my soon to be ordered BOM.

Here's is my IP7 BOM as a reference.

IPS6 - the start

Hello,


today I played the 'matching' game. 4 nicely matching J113. Matched the output BJTs (PNP-NPN) and from Left-channel to Right_channel.....🙄
And slingin' the hot iron around beautiful legs.... 😉

OPA134PA

Yes, I fully agree! The OPA134PA is an 'older' OPAmp, single channel, Fet at the input and still sounding good. Especially at his low price! And it can handle up to 36V (+-18V).

I used the OPA134PA in a few projects. In one of my active crossovers for example.
I will try it, when I have stuffed the IPS7 boards....
