hello,i have speaker 4 ohms 85db . in 23 db the same volume is -45 and in 29 db -65 on the A10 i keep 29db
If this is linear, it means that - roughly - every ten steps in the Eversolo volume, 3dB gain is achieved, that is, double the volume. seems reasonable to me, with enough granularity (maybe even more than needed)
I received my AMP-F10 on Wed, 29db setting is required to match other speaker (Centre/Rear L/R) volume on a Marantz Cinema 30 (Front L/R Pre-Amp out). Thinking if a 2nd one would be even more fun. You getting really a lot of quality and performance for this friendly amount of money. The shelft i prepared for it has place for 2 of them with plenty of distance for cooling purpose.
Ordered a second one just now—curious to see how much it will differ in sound. Today 2nd arrived, i've bridged. 23db setting is suffcient with 2. In a test i've read they running warmer when bridged but this is here not the caase, they are definetly cooler. I was reading a test https://www.stereophile.com/content/eversolo-amp-f10-power-amplifier Here is a section about the capacitors: Given how much heat the amp generates, high-quality electrolytic capacitors are needed, so they don't dry out and fail prematurely in the amp's warm/hot internal environment. Eversolo's designer said the capacitors are rated to "operate at 105°C for 3000 hours. For every 10°C reduction in operating temperature, their service life doubles." I'm curious, any idea how warm they usually run in a 20-25°C room at normal volume of 85db?
