![]() They know that their product does indeed have an audibly unique sound signature and that is just a fact of speaker design (at least through this decade).Īll you really need to be concerned about with the amp is that it is capable of properly driving your speakers (and the 2200 are fully capable with the Motions) because you can hear an amp that is struggling to perform beyond its design capability! Speaker design is about as old as amp design, but the difficulty of using transducers to accurately transition from an electric signal into sound waves is extreme! If you talk to any speaker designer, they will quickly explain that it is all about deciding on the best compromises to make to get the best sound. The Motion 60XT are good sounding speakers which is great because they are really what determines the sound you hear. Amp design is largely a mature endeavor and all of the established companies make competent amps that cleanly and accurately amplify the signal as it is input into the amp. If an amp adds to that or subtracts from it, that would be a form of distortion. You want to hear what the musicians and recording engineer intended you to hear. You have a mistaken understanding if you think different power amps will change the sound character! Amps made by reputable manufacturers (and Outlaw has been around for many many years now) do not embellish the sound - you wouldn't want that anyway. Thoughts?Ĭlick to expand.Would it cause you to feel better if you knew the Outlaw 2200 is made in the same Tiawan facility that makes Parasound amps? ![]() ![]() KEF seams more like a white wine, a fine wine but still. Hopefully there’s a thread out there somewhere that covers this but I can’t find one.ĥ.1) Any hardware recommendations to wall mount these heavy 35XTs or is that just dumb?Ħ) Dealer is trying to get me to consider changing to KEF R5 (L/R),R2c (C),LS50 (S) (more reasonable power requirements) but I’m more of red wine, whisky, and steak guy with the occasional cigar. I prefer wall mounted but in the moment I was persuaded to order the 35XTs. I imagine the answer is situational but which placement is better for each speaker type. Can I daisy 3 of these from 1 trigger out of the SR6013? Outlaw support line says they don’t know and depends on AVR.ĥ) Surrounds, probably the wrong thread, but I find myself torn between the ML Electromotion FX or FX2 in lieu of the 35XTs, thoughts? Is the effect of the dual folded tweeters “superior” or the is directionality of the 35XT “better”. I don’t want to use the music trigger (not based in logic). Also, am I really not supposed to use the Furman with the power amp?ģ) Would a Parasound A23 2 Ch get me 90% of the way or still a power problem?Ĥ) My cheap alternative is to run 3x Outlaw Audio Model 2200 Monoblocks, thoughts? Although, manual says not to daisy chain more than 2 units with 12v trigger and the AVR only has 1 trigger out. Specifically, muddy bass and overly bright mids/highs with the occasional breaking up or light crackle (could be a source issue)Ģ) Parasound A31 3 Ch or A21 2 Ch Power Amp? Can I make the A21 work / match with the center using the A21 gain controls? As in, center and surrounds running on the AVR. I feel like I’m hearing limits at medium-high volumes. So.ġ) Is this a problematic underpowered current situation? I haven’t tried biamping but skeptical it’s worth the effort. To note, when I inquired with Marantz technical support (Martin Logan claims the 60XT is compatible with 6/8 ohm amps but 4 nominal) they said running these speakers was improper and potentially warranty voiding.Įventually going for ATMOS 7.2.4 in-ceiling setup, at a minimum I need a 2 ch power amp. Lame Marantz, how dare you! It worked and sounded fine but I still felt it was struggling on power. I had a Marantz MM7025 2 ch power amp but returned because it specifically says 6-8 ohm speakers only. Marantz SR6013 (110W / 8 Ohm/ 9 Ch powered, 11 Ch processed pre) Everything I have is returnable / swappable, current equipment below: However, as with all endeavors begun without a plan I find myself midway paused working one out. It’s that time of year where you can get amazing deals on great AV gear and I’ve been caught hook, line and sinker.
