Seems pretty stable in the lower freq's. Guys, I don't have two meters, just the one. So your telling me what I was doing last night, won't even get me in the ballpark?

Mojo, if I do your pink noise test and find out from axiom the ohms with pink noise will that work? How does this account for dynamic peaks during songs?

From the Outlaw Manual.

Your new power amplifier is a state of the art, high performance, audio
component. It is built utilizing totally complementary circuitry from input to
output. The high current power supply is driven by custom-designed torrodial
transformers (Model 7200 @ 2.0 KVA / Model 7125 @ 1.6 KVA / Model 7075 @
800 VA) with two separate windings for each of the seven channels. The per
channel filter capacitance of the Model 7200 is 22,600 uF, while Model 7125
measures 20,000 uF, and the Model 7075 comes in at 16,400 uF. All seven
channels are each protected by an advanced Opto-coupled protection circuit.
Heat management is provided by custom-designed heatsinks on each amplifier
module, enabling the amplifier to function at full power without the need
for noisy fans.


Randy,

What is the point of trying to measure the output at this point? It seems to me it would be tough keeping the amp knowing its shortcomings.

True Wid, it would just make me feal better. I can then have some factual numbers to back my discusions versus saying, others on my website think something is wrong.

Well there is some news Yeah something is wrong, those amps are not what they are cracked up to be. It seems an ol boy over at AV123 did snip off the resistor you were talking about and the amp is still shutting down.........that sure as heck isn't good.

Yep, he just disabled his wave form.

Randy, I read through the whole thread and by the time I got to the end, I forgot half of what I read......

So, is or is not the EMO delivering it's claimed output without shutting down? That's the only question that really matters. If it only shuts down once you push past this point, than nothing is wrong. The protection circuit is doing what it's supposed to, and the guys at Emotiva have done their job. If it's not delivering the rated power, then they have more work to do.

If it is delivering the goods, and if you'll be pushing past this point on a regular basis, send it back - you need a bigger amp, man.

It would be nice if Ian or Alan would chime in on how the Sherwood amp performed during their torture tests with the 80's.

According to them it is, but they are not testing with 80's. I'm now starting to wonder, based on what I'm hearing elsewhere from others.

Based on my findings, I'm only using about 10 watts from 12ft away to achieve 100dB's, the amps are shutting down at 106-7dB's. Now I'm no expert like some of these other guys, but you can't tell me I'm using all 300 watts.

sirquak why don't you just ask them to send you the AP graphs for the THD and Power output. That will show exactly how much power it is producing. Any company worth its salt uses an AP for its testing so they should have the graphs.
