For each tipology exists an optimal match with a specific BlackNoise able to make the best out of the device characteristics, but in some cases there are more optimal matches than just one... rather than a mistake, it depends by the power ratings we are dealing with. For example, a 100 W per channel class A power amplifier needs at least a BlackNoise 1000; the 500 is not recommended, but only because is underpowered (a stereo amp delivering 100 W per channel in pure A class uses about 800 W).

 

As you see, any kind of BlackNoise is also not recommended to be used with active subwoofers with the exception of the MiniBlack: the frequency band served by these speakers is unable to make a perceptible difference, with or without filters. Unfortunately, switching power supplies and class D power amps are used more and more with these units. Such devices overimpose a great deal of disturbances on mains line and a filter would really be needed... but from a pure audiophile point of view the rest of the setup is best served with BlackNoise filters placed on the other units. The MiniBlack represents an exception because it is able to exert an excellent protection and filtering action in relation to its very affordable cost.
