soundstagenetwork | Why Amplifiers Don't Sound the Same - Understanding Voltage and Current for Loudspeakers (Ep:71) @soundstagenetwork | Uploaded August 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Early this year, hi-fi writer Robert Harley wrote an article in The Absolute Sound magazine where he described how using a 2.83-volt signal to assess speaker sensitivity was a “trick.” His opinion was that using a 1-watt signal is what’s correct. In response, SoundStage! Founder Doug Schneider published a video in February 2023 that explained that Robert Harley’s assertion was wrong and that using a 2.83-volt signal is the right way to determine sensitivity.

What this video explores is something Doug Schneider didn’t explain in his February 2023 video—how an amplifier delivers sufficient current so that an amplifier can maintain its output voltage. To explain that, Doug Schneider recruited Dominique Poupart, the product director at Simaudio, maker of the Moon brand of hi-fi electronics. Watch this video to hear what Dominique had to say.
