Mike's ever changing system...

[Ali Tait]

Not sure how the ease of drive differs to my ER Audio statics,but I would guess they are broadly similar,and the 813 drives them with what I can only describe as disdainful ease.Volume is never past 10 o clock.Quoted power is 45w,but I reckon more like 30 ish.

[A.N.]

But did they have much loudness and dynamic capability AN? All the Logans I've heard have been terribly inefficient and I cant see 35w providing much in the way of headroom. ( Genuine question by the way - I'm not trying to wind you up or rubbish your experience)

definately, even more so than driven with 2 of my old linn lk280's. an icon audio drove them ok too, although volume was limited as was the bass. didnt have the grip. my aerius i's dropped to 1.7ohms (iirc) and it really wasnt a problem for the unisis. great amp imo

Hi Mike, where are you based mate?? I have a 1000VA dual mono block Avondale amp, all homebrew, with 22,000uF on each rail and a current reserve of around 10A per channel, it kicks out 80 watts of sheer musical pleasure, if you want to have a bake off with it let me know, and if it's not too far I could pop round with it, towing it my trailer to your place, it weighs in at a fair rate too, are you familiar with the Avondale amps??
It has such a huge in-rush current even with a 30 amp surge guard arrester fitted I have to power it up with the speakers disconnected, or voice coils hit the opposite wall,
I am in Oxfordshire.

Hi Paul,

Many thanks for the offer, but I'm up in the north east on the edge of the Cleveland hills. A bit too far away I think!

Cheers...

I run my ML CLSiiz full range stats with a Bel Canto eVo4 power - 400wpc of hefty class D. It sounds superb to my humble ears.

Hey!... there's a bit missing!


By shian7, shot with u30D,S410D,u410D at 2009-04-03


I'm off to Scotchland for a week or so on holiday, and while I'm away the motor unit is visiting Vantage Audio for it's own little sojourn.

Hopefully it'll be back within a couple of weeks fully serviced and with a bit of a rework of the PSU!

I'll report all in due course.

[Ali Tait]

Whereabouts are you holidaying Mike?

Whereabouts are you holidaying Mike?

I can't remember the name of the place Ali!

Somewhere just north west of that big pond where Nessie lives.

Hi Mike

Have a good time. Not the Black Isle, Beauly, Cromarty? I love that part of Scotland. Alas no Easter holiday for Mr & Mrs Dalek Supreme this time. Money to tight to mention. We usually go this weekend for a week. Twice a year every year for the last 10 years. We have a friends marriage to go to in sept so we will spend some time in Edinburgh and then up to where you are going.....thats the plan anyway.

Say Hi to Nessie.



and her masters
