40 subwoofers with 40 statement amps?

Posted by: French Rooster on 06 June 2018

i found on the net the Transmission  audio ultimate speakers, which uses 40 subwoofers.  The speakers cost 1,2 million dollars.

Is it possible to imagine 40 naim statement amps to power the 40 subwoofers?   A naim system with around 45 boxes( 41 statement), and a price of near 6 millions dollars ?

And not forgetting a concrete bunker (nuclear shelter standard of constriction recommended ) to withstand the vibrational energy!

40 statement amps is like a state building.   a fraim with 40 meters high, a turntable on top and elevator to put an lp.

Remember the Statement does not sit on a Fraim, each power amp has the following dimensions 940mm X 256mm X 383mm. So you will have a row about 10 metres wide of vertically standing amps, weighing slightly over 4 tonnes.

dbl speakers have 3 drivers and some here use 6 nap 500 in active mode. So in absolute sound, a speaker with 20, 30 drivers ( woofers?) can be powered by 20, 30 statement amps....

In Dubai we may find such a system.

I think the 256mm is width and 383mm is depth, so probably around 11 metres if you leave a bit of space. The NAP is 101kg, and the NAC 61.5kg, So about 4.1 tonnes, plus what I suspect is a pretty heavy sub.

ah ok, i thought 383 mn wide. So it will fit my room, without my wife.

Another benefit: you don't need to invest in central heating in your French castle.

saving on heat, but not on electric bill.

Yes but that is a minor detail when you can afford 40 statement amps

the problem is my wife offered me The Transmission ultimate speakers. I have to power them now....

A CB Nait 2 will have no problems driving them.

Putting on an lp and changing sides is surely something the liftboy can take care of.

good idea, i will hire a liftboy when wanting to listen to some lps.  Naim will produce me an elevator with its logo on buttons.
