Can the Manley Neoclassic 300B handle a 2 ohm load


Hi all,

l am very interested in this amp, however my speakers have a load dip down to 2 ohms, although nominally they are 3 ohms plus. Rated at 96db efficency however.

Would the Manley be OK with this type of load, or will the bottom end be MIA?

Cheers Simon

Reubent,

Thanks for the Decware suggestion. l have spent the last couple of hours searching for info on them. They are very highly regaraded and can handle the 2 ohm load. Look like a great option and with a return policy too got to be worth considering.

Cheers
The H2O, reviewed here, is stable to at least 1 ohm, 76 db. I know. That is what my speakers are rated. The stereo version of the H2O sells for $2500.
muralman,

While I share your enthusiasm for the H20 amp, It would not be my recommendation it for some one with 96db speakers looking for a SET 300B based amp.

250wpc would be a bit much here.
Loudandclear, Mondie's speakers dip down to 2 ohms. That is not SET territory. The question here has centered around that disparity. I just believe there are better ways than going with autoformers.
