Which basic amps can drive 1 ohm loads ?


Which amps will drive 1 ohm loads like Apogee Speakers?

Have you ever tried a 1 ohm load with the palladiums..
The head sinks are "v" grooved in the center and rather effective. As differential monoblocks, you have only one channel per chassis to cool... Granted the Krell ksa's have alot more Visible heat sinks, I have run most every kind of speaker load with the palladiums with no failure in the short term and no signs of fatigue.
All due respect,

Aragons will drive Apogees. Aragons will drive virtually anything but thats really not a secret.
Kool, nobody runs Aragons on Scintillas. Duettas, Divas, Calipers, yes, but not Scintillas. Scintillas run on an average 1 ohm, and dips down to .6 ohm. This pulls a tremendous amount of current through the amps, causing huge temp rises. This requires giant heat sinks or fans, neither of which the Aragon has.
I believe the Jeff Rowland Model 8T and other iterations including the 9T should also do a good job with Apogees - 50A continuous, 100A peak. Not cheap but they do the job.
