Apologies to Alan for slight thread hijack, please resume.
An adenda to my first post. Obviously my findings are with NVA power amps which are designed to be used with a passive pre. With power amps designed to be used with an active pre you may find the TVC better than pot or sa based passives. This is due to matching and interface considerations.
No problem & thanks for the response.
Richard, I am very interested in your reply (notwithstanding my limited understanding). I was sure I remembered seeing some TVCs in you ebay showroom, now I see why they aren't there now.
It certainly helps me try and weigh up whether a cheap TVC is worth a punt over a good stepped attenuator model. I wish I were in a financial position to weigh it all up for myself, but I'm not. So this is another vote for 'the new way' of buying Hi-Fi.
Regarding the response of my amps as the volume increases, I must stress it is just my perception. No-one else has ever commented on it. Perhaps bigger amps on the bottom?
Plenty to think about for now (thanks also Rob), will check in again tomorrow.
300 posts - congratulations! I may need to think of ditching the top amps to fund a nice P90sa, but I would then certainly want to add A80s in place of A70s.
However I am wary of losing any of the magic I enjoy at the moment, and I have no way of knowing how much of it is down to the Bi-amp configuration.:scratch::confused:
Which is why I wrote:
Eejit! :lol:Quote:
And I freakin' edited my response again to take into account his other typo!!

Sorry, Alan, as you were...
Marco.
Ah! now I know who you are ;)
Most is down to bi-amp as I told you, what you have in bi-amp is better than two 80's, and better than just two 70's with P90sa.
Wait until you can afford to trade in the P50 for P90sa. Only then upgrade the amps as and when you want and can afford. Don't move away from bi-amp, retrograde step.
Anyway I am not here to promote NVA so any question for me then back channel please. Any others can comment at will.
