SS amp with Merlins plinius ?

how goes it wil?

i came close to the T-8s, but it'd have required a new rack too, and the thought of the output heat in houston is a lot. couple that w/ the fact i'd have to rewire my crossover for the T harness. and lastly, OTL reliability questions, which even though seem fairly low risk, just make the overall package less attractive.

frankly, the 350 has me totally happy. happier w/ it than i am w/ the joule pre. what a nice amp. it simply does nothing wrong. and you should hear the way the bass tightened up and gained impact, even when my old amp was a 100wpc SS conrad johnson!

oh, i just picked up entec subs. 2-lf20s, going to x-over at 100hz. once i get them integrated (bam is out), i'm expecting something special.

doubtful i'll be upgrading speakers again. the only gripe i had w/ the merlins is they're not up for big rooms. well, 2 entecs should solve that problem...

Want an OTL amp that will whip the pants off the 25W Transcendent Sound? This OTL increases output power as impedence drops, does not use alot of juice at idle (100W), IS stable at and below 4 ohms and outputs 70W @ 8 ohms which means it will drive the daylights out of the Merlins.

I'm using the ZH-270 to drive full range Soundlabs and can get well into the mid 90db's no problem. Talk about David and Goliath, no pun intended :)
