Hi
Two months back I have purchased CYRUS 8SE CDP ,CYRUS 8VS2 Amp & Dynaudio Audience 72 speakers.
I am thoroughly enjoying my music but my friends on internet (who have not listened to my set up) are
doubtful about driving capabilities of my amp.
Their argument is "4ohm speaker(Dynaudio Audience 72) can not be exploited properly by 8ohm amp(Cyrus 8vs2)"
When I bought the Cyrus amp ,I got carried away with the following specifications (in bold letters)
Continuous Power - 70W/CH (both driven into 8 Ohms) 110W/CH (both driven into 4 Ohms)
Burst Power - 340W (IHF, one channel driven into 1 Ohm)
Distortion - 0.003%, 1kHz (into 8 Ohms) 0.005%, 1kHz (into 4 Ohms)
Frequency Response - -3 dB, 0.2Hz and 85kHz
Damping Factor - (1kHz) 150
Sensitivity - (50W) Line: 200mV
Input impedance - 50kOhm (RCA).
Output voltage - 200mV (Tape out), 380mV (Pre out)
S/N Ratio - 101dBA (ref. 50W)
Channel Balance - ±0.2dB (0dB to -63dB)
Volume control accuracy - ±0.1dB (0dB to -63dB)
Dimensions - (H x W x D) 73 x 215 x 360 (mm)
Weight - 5.5kg
End of the day, I am very happy with the sound .(Missing better sound ? I dont know).
Do I really get a still better sound on 8ohm speakers?
Please advice
Cheers
