That job has been open since before I worked there.

ATI makes bulletproof amps with a very high degree of quality build. The specs are truthful and conservative. Some of the ATI amps share the same design as some of the very expensive high end amps that ATI makes for OEMs. I don't know if this is a negative for you (it is for me), but almost all...

Nope. Below all that billet aluminum is a real wuss.

Levinson is part of the Harmon empire, and ATI manufactures for Harmon, including JBL, Levinson and probably others I can't remember. ATI also used to build the Adcom amps, but no more. I've had the cheap thrill of stressing a (very expensive) Levinson amp until it blew up and smoked....fun....

They were also slated to begin assembling amps for Halcro.

ATI also bought Theata Digital a couple years ago.

Why on earth would you want to load it with 160 ohms? If you load the amplifier with anything other than what the speaker load will be, the measurements will be basically useless.

If the amp is rated for the lower load, then the amp will attempt to dissipate more power into the load.

A technician could probably fix it, but its probably not worth it.

Then you know the answer to the question.

Adding wings to a home speaker won't appreciably help since they would have to be pretty big. Better to just place the speaker near a wall.

I have never heard the Jamo speakers, but in general, the larger the surface radiating area, the larger sense of scale from my experience. But keep in mind that when I talk about a system which can deliver a realistic sense of scale (again in my opinion), I'm talking about hunking BIG speakers...

Flat response and good midrange is good, BUT.....BIG Frequency response and midrange is even better! :happy-smileygiantred:

The larger the radiating area, the more a speaker will project a better sense of scale, and I would imagine that this would also include using a sub for each speaker ***if it matches sonically***, but keep in mind that the important midrange will still be projected by a small driver; and the ear...

The biggest problem with measuring into an impedance is that the readings like distortion cannot be counted on to be accurate, since it is dependent on the damping factor of the amplifier and the nature of the complex impedance of the speaker load. A transistor amp with a high damping factor...

Just do it right....use a load resistor like everybody else who tests audio gear does. Trust me on this one. Trust me on this one.

This is not recommended because the impedance of the speaker changes with frequency, therefore you will never know the actual wattage being dissipated. Since a speaker load is an impedance, calculating the actual power dissipated is next to impossible due to the phase angle of the current to the...
