    Starke Sound Fiera4 4CH Amplifier Does It Meet Power Spec?

    Yea it was designed for higher sensitivity and it plays really loud and clean.xmated with good dual subs. The F328be will have the advantage. As standalone 2CH, no subs, Salon2 for the win.

    Starke Sound Fiera4 4CH Amplifier Does It Meet Power Spec?

    Impossible since I don't have access to Salon 2s. I know for a fact the Salon2 have superior bass extension and output though. The F328Be are a bit weak in bass for a speaker of that size and price.

    Starke Sound Fiera4 4CH Amplifier Does It Meet Power Spec?

    Nobody ever claims 2 voltage sources were in series. It's a push/pull scenario with the load in series between the two voltage sources. There are BTLs and parallel amp options which allows for doubling the current. I believe some Class D modules allow the designer to implement both BTL and...

    Starke Sound Fiera4 4CH Amplifier Does It Meet Power Spec?

    I think we are all on the same page here. BTL theoretically doubles voltage which should quadruple power but it rarely ever does due to current limiting. I usually measure 2X the power with a BTL in most products. Virtually EVERY manufacturer that does BTL in consumer audio states the load...

    Starke Sound Fiera4 4CH Amplifier Does It Meet Power Spec?

    That's unfortunate they didn't respond to you and hopefully lessons were learned by them from this whole ordeal. The 8CH version looks like a really good value as well. Looking forward to hearing feedback from users on these new amps.

    The Marantz "Cinema Series" "2022-2023" AV Pre-Launch Thread

    Most AVRs and processors downs ample to 48khz either for room correction or bass management. It's a non issue.

    Starke Sound Fiera4 4CH Amplifier Does It Meet Power Spec?

    I wasn't shielding anyone. This site was being attacked by Amir and his disciples about our preview article because they couldn't figure out it wasn't a review despite the fact that the article said a review was forthcoming. Again I'm done rehashing the AMIR and ASR stuff and this thread needs...

    Starke Sound Fiera4 4CH Amplifier Does It Meet Power Spec?

    Thet we held back a test report bc the results were unflattering. We held the report back until we could either test another sample or verify the results with the manufacturer. I really can't believe this continues on a loop for almost a year.

    The point is he and his fans accused us of the very same thing he apparently does too.

    Starke Sound Fiera4 4CH Amplifier Does It Meet Power Spec?

    I really don't care what keyboard commandos do on their forum. It's their playhouse. Starke messed up for sure. I'm glad they fixed the situation. But some will continue beating them down. I suppose it feels good. It's not my thing. Had Starke produced another lemon, I would have cut them off...

    Starke Sound Fiera4 4CH Amplifier Does It Meet Power Spec?

    Good points. I just don't have any good vibes about AMIR after the dealings I've had with him. He likes to point fingers at others regarding conflicts of interest but at the same time doesn't make it very clear on his own website that he sells Revel and other Harman products he reviews. Bottom...

    Starke Sound Fiera4 4CH Amplifier Does It Meet Power Spec?

    It's a double edged sword. AMIR created a religion around SINAD and boils down product performance almost solely on that. It's academic and not real world on any level. We already informed Starke about the power issue on the older amp and were waiting on a 2nd unit to confirm if there was a...
