Mono blocks-High current/low impedance...options?


Purchased Green Mountain Continuum 3's. Have been tube SET/single driver guy for the last few years...Need starting point for research required to match amplification to new speakers. Thanks in advance for your help! Ralph

Ar_t, I'm afraid that I have to agree with Muralman1 on this one. I'm baffled as to why you seem to become so defensive, both here and in the Audio Circle threads. Personally, I am considering an ICEpower amp to drive my SoundLabs. The H2Os are under consideration. I'd like to consider your own amps as well, but hesitate to do so, not because of issues of sound quality (I have never heard your amps), but because I have a bias towards designers who display at least a hint of objectivity. If you would care to make your case regarding the superiorities of your amps with respect to other contenders, by all means please get in touch by email.

Having said that, we have all turned Ralphdude's thread into a pissing contest. Can I suggest that we refrain from further comment in the interest of sticking to the subject?
Ralphdude, sorry, it looks like your thread got hijacked.
BTW, how did you make out? Did you get any real information?

A_rt, I too am curious, if you are so wise, informed and scientific, how is it that you have no clue to Proton gear I use? And why haven't I ever heard of the stuff you sell/manufacture?

LOL, HYPE, 90% of audio is hype, and the rest is truth, revealing, horrifying, absolute truth from a source via ones chosen speaker system and source player, amplifiers mean very little by way of "A GIVEN" sound. This is more so in dB output when a designer follows a given standard, more then this becomes over kill most times, and more often then not, outright unecessary.

But then you have never heard a Proton sing- have you?

But then you know more then my ears do dont you?
John! Hijacked is a good way to put it. The Clayton amps you recommended will be considered. I am biased toward tube amps at this point. If I can find an SS with similar character? Thanks again, Ralph
