    various questions

    1- I have a Marantz model 1060, ser# 24224. On a scale of 1-10 how would you guys rate this amp? It works fine and is used to power my 416"s and 806's/511B's.





    2- Would it be a good idea to line the walls of the horn enclosure and cover the horns with sound absorption material? Or just stuff hell out of the cavity with F Glass? Not sure if it would be effective with the higher freq's.




    Thanks,

    Lee

    Re: various questions

    Don't recall it, but the few Marantz's I've experience with were all 'sweet'/'lush' performers.

    Which horn cabs?

    Re: various questions

    I have a pair of the older 80wpc 16s. Happily content, except when I think 4 80wpc amps isn't enough. I haven't bridged the 2 75wpc Crown D 150s either, (would also need 3 more)but there would be only a very silght if at all difference. Now. I have also a knocked about Altec 9440, but alas of only one. I would need 4 or 3 more running in the 800wpc bridged mode to perhaps gain anything substantial when one thinks of "more power" by the usual rule of thumb.
