Bravo to Philips


Someone else heard just one Philips AD5046N speaker driven by just 30mW.


Lampros could not believe how well and loud it sounded.


Well done to Philips for creating a 800Ω full range speaker so unique, many decades ago.


After listening to so many systems regardless of price it will possibly be the Pleiades reference. (The headphone reference used is the Senneheiser HD580 precision). (For higher sound intensity listening with speakers the Bang & Olufsen of Denmark Beocenter 2600 is used).


It is important that this setup is just radiating form a nearly point source. Everything sounds is amazing detail no matter where the listener is, even very far from the listening room. All frequency components arrive to ears at the same time. Is it like laser?, the sound beam is coherent.


It cannot be overemphasized how mankind is greatful to the inventors of the amplifier. The schematic used is perhaps the simplest class A amplifier  (electrons flowing all the time) ever attempted. It is the first schematic we see on any good electronic engineer book. The most hi-tec?


Signal path, setup:


Midnight Lace - Ray Conniff (the ultimate 3CD) - Sony D-EJ758CK line out bridged to mono - Pleiades 2N3053 millipower amplifier - Philips AD5046N - tiled kitchen - listeners around any room
