Tomorrow is Great Wednesday

[TJ Hooker]

The official start of Easter.

Very excited as I will be getting an amp to hook up to my new KEF LS-50 speakers, an iPhone XS Max, and a new car.

How will you be celebrating Great Wednesday?

My amp just arrived. Going to pick up some speaker wire and a case for the iPhone XS Max. The phone is being delivered later this afternoon. Picking up the car tonight.

 

[LarryFisherman]

Yes.

Cool. what car did ya get this time?

 

[LarryFisherman]

Also, good call on the KEFs. I have basic Q300's and matching centre and love them.

Another Golf. Haha.

These speakers are so slick looking. Can't wait to hear them.

Yeah, they'll sound incredible. Make sure you buy an appropriate amp to give them all the sound they deserve. Bonus points for tubes.

Glad old TJ is back. Year of the flex.

I've not heard of NAD, but that looks nice and more than sufficient.

Don't be surprised if you have to crank it up. The KEFs only have 85db sensitivity (mine are low too) and may have to feed it a little higher than ya want. You probably already know that though. The details on that page seem incorrect, as it states 40w RMS @ 8ohm AND 4ohm. It should be 80w RMS at 4ohm if 40w at 8ohm, I believe. I would definitely run them with the lower impedance if you can get away with it. The KEFs say 8ohm nominal but looks like it drops down to 3.2ohm, so you should be good at 4ohm.

Also, since it has an RS232 port, you should be able to hook up a computer or android tablet or something and setup controls for it. You could probably tie it in with Alexa if you were so inclined.

I listened to an audio commentary on the Crucifixion. I'm not weird; I'm eccentric.
