the bakoon is 25 watts while the anni is 10 which in the case of the susvara is important...I think the 13r pumps 4-5 watts into the susvara I am sure the anni is a fair bit less

I was under the impression that a tweak of the volume knob delivered the full 25 watts which are available to the speaker terminals, then became available to the headphone jack.

assuming linearity: 25 watts into 8 ohms (bakoon speaker rating) to W watts into 50 ohms (susvara) -> W/25 watts = 8 ohm/50ohm -> W = 25 (8/50) => 4 watts into 50 ohms (susvara impedance)

Just a reminder that the Susvara only needs around half a watt of power to reach 110dB which is more than enough to cause permanent hearing loss.

How do you know it's 4-5W?

because i have seen it detailed several times

obviously the ability to simply play loud doesnt equate to the ability to sound good...a honda can go the same speed as a mercedes but not drive as well..

correct, you can adjust to low or high gain and receive the full 25/8 which equates to 4 watts into the susvara

Of course, but no amp is "pumping 4-5 watts" into the Susvara.

 

[jlbrach]

ok, let me put it differently, 4 watts is available to the susvara from the 13r

How about the TT2, Dave or the HPA4 whats their output?

Their specs should be easily found on their product pages.

In other Anni related news... the local Chord dealer just posted price increases taking effect in a week. The Qutest is going up by just over 28%. This is the largest increase and I bet we can all guess why. Other items vary in percentage but all are substantial. So far Anni remains as first announced.

I looked into this price increase and yes chord have increased their prices, coming into effect in September. I found a company that had posted the feb 2020 price list and the new sept 2021 list so I could compare. I don't know what country your in but in the UK the Qutest went up by £55 to £1250 a 4.6% increase. the biggest increase I saw after a quick glance was the Dave, that went up nearly 500 quid.

Not everything went up some stayed the same and the Poly went done £4 according to the price list. For some reason the Mojo isn't on the new price list and neither is the Anni but I guess that's because it wasn't announced till after the price rises.

Located in Canada and the dealer is Bay Bloor Radio. By announcing the price increases as they have it becomes sort of a reverse sale during the interim period. Buy now or look out. The announced Anni price seemed a couple of hundred high but since they posted the other increases it now makes sense. We tend to "enjoy" price premiums here... plus we get to contribute a further 13% to the government. Other Chord dealers here are silent on the increases so far.

Only 13%? I noticed last week here in the UK that DAVE was already selling at the new price (£8995) £500 higher. TT2 (£4250) and H2 (£1895) prices haven’t gone up here yet. Anni selling at £1195 and Qutest remains at £1250 making the Anni+Qutest a relatively good deal. Obviously Chord chose the prices carefully. Prices include 20% VAT.

Too bad about those price increases. It might be best to hold off buying until the supply chain issues improve. Just enjoy the gear you have.
