the world's best receiver
IMHO, the Nakamichi TA-4A, which was featured on the cover of Audio
Magazine, with the subtitle same as the title of this post. This receiver features Nelson Pass's Stasis amplifier design, rated at 100 wpc. While I find it can't really drive large speakers in the manner that they should be driven, what it does with bookshelves, and miscellaneous smaller speakers, I find without peer. The FM tuner section is also extraordinary for a receiver. |

Given the fact that smaller speakers tend to be less efficient than larger speakers, why do you think this is? The FM tuner section is also extraordinary for a receiver. Since there's not a single station on the dial that doesn't compress the program material to within an inch of it's life, why does that matter? -- // Walt |

Given the fact that smaller speakers tend to be less efficient than larger speakers, why do you think this is? A common misconception. Well I might have the worlds most powerfull receiver. A NAD with 400 WPC peak. Its still broke though. greg The FM tuner section is also extraordinary for a receiver.

If you can't pick up the station decently, I'll bet it matters a lot. |

Given the fact that smaller speakers tend to be less efficient than larger speakers, why do you think this is? Damping of small woofers is easier than large ones, because they have less equivalent inductance.. This shows up in tonal balance. As you point out, it is harder to drive a small speaker to a high volume level than a large one, but that is a different issue. The FM tuner section is also extraordinary for a receiver. Since there's not a single station on the dial that doesn't compress the program material to within an inch of it's life, why does that matter? In Philly, we have several stations where FM quality still shows: WRTI (Temple), WXPN (Penn), WHYY (NPR). |

Goofy huffs and puffs. Damping of small woofers is easier than large ones, because they have less equivalent inductance.. Did you work that out for youself? I certainly didn't tell him. |

A lot of people really like the early AR Receiver, although I never
was too excited about it myself. |
