Overall Component Quality
EDDIE is one of the finest loudspeakers made. You and EDDIE deserve supporting audio
components of the highest quality. Audio systems are highly synergistic - excellent
sound quality in any one component can raise the overall performance of the total
system, while poorer quality can seem to diminish the overall result more than you
would expect. Choose your other system components with the same care you have
devoted to selecting EDDIE. As a general rule avoid receivers or low-priced multi-
channel amplifiers. Generally separate pre-amps and power amps are your best choice.
Minimum Power Requirements
While you can use as little as 50 watts per channel, EDDIE operates best 100 watts per
channel that is stable into a 4-ohm load. Some users will find these minimums
insufficient, while others will wonder why anyone would need larger amplifiers. Your
listening habits, the size and acoustics of your listening room, and your personal views
will determine how much power you need.
Maximum power
As a practical matter, if used in a room matched to EDDIE, you can use larger amplifiers
and hear the performance difference. In development, EDDIE was tested with amplifiers
producing over250 watts per channel. The additional power will yield immediate
dividends in dynamic range and clarity.
With any amp, be aware that EDDIE has his limits. A small amp may clip and burn the
woofers voice coil or melt the planar or ribbon. Too large a signal and you will first hear
the woofer complain. This may be due to the amplifiers inability to provide proper
damping. The woofer in EDDIE does extend to 32 Hz and in the right room may go
lower. But it is not designed to do the job of a subwoofer.
