B&K ST-202 or Forte 1A?

Are you both saying that a speaker that dips down to 2 ohms the B&K will not beable to handle cleanly?

In stock form I think you would be asking a lot from these designs. The Forte 4A which was a latter version of the 1a might be able to pull this off (most people seem to prefer it's more open extended sound as well). The Forte is only 50 watts but your speakers are pretty efficient. It will depend on your room and desired volume. Forte also made 75 watt monos that were like the 4A. If I'm not mistaken the 4A could be had with balanced inputs but the monos (7's?) were only availibe with RCA's.

P.S. the B&K M200 monos @ 200 watts per channel should be able to do handle the load.

What an amp will "do" and how it operates optimally can be very different things. The ST-202 will "do" 2 ohm loads. In doing that, it will run QUITE hot, sound more smeared and less detailed, etc...

As to Unsound's suggestion, the M-200's are capable of appr 160 amps of output peak to peak. It will do 2 ohm loads no problem and maintain a similar "house sound" if you want to stick with B&K. Sean

What I think I will do is talk to the designer of the speaker's first off.Great to be able to do that.From that I will search for the most musical amp for my taste.
In my mind at the moment McCormick,B&K,PS Audio or a similar amp comes to mind.
I have posted a 2ohm Amp Question in addition to this!

Thx for the help!
