Hello, I just got this kit with the recommended capacitor upgrades and such and will be building once I move. I listen to music, but also like movies and am eyeballing a pair of HS-24 subs by stereointegrity further down the road. I will be getting things as I can afford them and the next in line before the preamp are monoblocks. Anyone have any experience with these? Anyone recomend a good preamp to use with these monoblocks, or better a DAC that is also a good preamp? I need something to power these and have been looking towards Schiit Tyr Amps and am wondering it they will provide enough power. They are rated as follows:
8 Ohms: 200W RMS per channel maximum
4 Ohms: 350W RMS per channel maximum
Frequency Response: 20Hz-20Khz, -0.1db, 3Hz-500KHz, -3dB
THD: <0.01%, 20Hz-20KHz, at 200W RMS into 8 ohms
IMD: <0.01%, CCIR, at 200W RMS into 8 ohms
SNR: >120db, A-weighted, referenced to full output
Damping Factor: >200 into 8 ohms, 20-20kHz
Gain: 22 (28dB)
Input Sensitivity: AKA Rated Output (Vrms)/Rated Gain. Or, 40/22. You do the math.
Input Impedance: 47k ohms SE, 47k ohms balanced
Inputs: RCA for SE input, XLR for balanced input, rear panel switchable
Topology: Nexus™ discrete differential current feedback gain stage, no coupling capacitors or DC servos with Continuity™ constant transconductance output stage, all BJT output
Oversight: microprocessor-controlled monitoring and management of critical operational points, including DC offset, with standby mode and relay shut-down for overcurrent, thermal, and other faults
Power Supply: 600VA transformer with 600VA choke input to main rails, plus boosted, regulated supply to input, voltage gain and driver stages, plus separate, isolated and regulated rails for microprocessor management.
