Hi,
Just wondered if there was much difference between the volume output between the 2 Amps as described in title.
I have just 'pumped up' my HK 980 to -10dB with the Tannoy Speakers and then compared the system with my CA 640v2 with the Mezzo 2's at '11 O, Clock and there seemed to be more distortion particularly with the HK amp and Tannoys than the CA/Mezzo Combo. The Amps allegedly output 80w and 75w respectively so not much difference there.
I guess the question is -10 dB on the HK equivalent to 11 with the CA. The biggest difference seems to be in the Bass Response which appears to be inferior with the HK/Tannoy System.
Maybe it is possible I am just pushing the Tannoy's too far.
The relevant sources are as in my signature.
FWIW both systems go quite loud at the levels as described above.
Cheers
