I've bulked up summat awful again, so it's time for another clearout/
kit reduction!

Lots of nice things on my new, permanent Items For Sale page:

No prices (what's the point?) - open to a good old haggle on most
things!!

:-)

If you're selling your Technics amp and the Dynacos, what will you drive
your TLS80s with, not a SET?



I certainly can, but right this minute I have my little (50 Watt?) Denon
PMA-655R on them - I doubt many could stand the *loudness* of a CD at half
volume on that setup!


Half volume is typically -20dB on most volume pots. CD players output 2
volts, and amplifiers typically have an input sensitivity of 100-500 mV so
your CD at half-volume is outputting somewhere near the maximum of the
amplifier which is 50 W into 8 ohms, in practice probably more.
Consequently, I'm not surprised it's loud. However, if my experience with
IMF is anything to go by, you are probably clipping the little Denon, which
will also increase the apparent loudness. I wouldn't use less than 100 watts
on the IMFs, more if I had it.
