The Aragon Palladiums I have will drive a 1 ohm load all day long and run at 1 kilowatt... A bargain at 3 grand!! Best of luck.. by the way, skip the adcom for a 1 ohm load... Distortion city!! Happy listening, Joe Custom Audio LLC
No they won't. There is no reason why they should have to. There is only one 1 ohm speaker in existance, and precious few of those. No amp builder is making amps for the Scintilla. The Aragon just doesn't have the heat sinks to do the job.
The Apogee Scintilla's (which I believe you're referring to) were most often mated with Classe Audio amps. Jason Bloom and David Reich had a close working relationship; I'd go so far as to say they voiced their stuff for the best synergy. The pure "class A" Classe audio amplifiers that mated with the Scintilla's were the DR-3 (sometimes in pairs) and more appropriately the DR-VHC amps. Gobs of current. I know all this to be accurate; email me if you'd like to know more. Best, Jeff
I have no quarrel with chunky class A amps with huge heat sinks being able to run a 1 ohm load. Classe amps of that descriptin do power the Scintilla well. But that does not mean they have the best synergy with the Scintilla. It may have been true a dozen years ago. If the Pass X600 wasn't around, I would have thought seriously about the Classe..
