At 10Hz it is approximately .6 ohms.That when the vinyl warp frequency will tax an amp, or even a bit of dc servo flutter when the mains chucks a slight wobbly. It's been reported that Jim Thiel ended up using Krell 600 Watt'ers.Correct type of amp, that will almost double down to 2ohms without breaking a sweat, though the 250 or even 150 watt'ers would do, they all can do the Krell doubling act. There are many other brands that do the Krell doubling act also, all use Bi-Polar (bjt) output transistors, just like the Krells. Cheers George |

After owning four makes and in home auditions of three other switching amplifiers I've been using a pair of Hypex nCore 400s to drive my studios monitors that dip down to 3.6 ohms, an Acoustic Image Focus 2R driving a menu of Bass cabinets, and various Velodyne subwoofers. My only suggestion is to listen for yourself. I'm a class D fan but I'm not fooling myself either. Their plate glass transparency along with switching amplifiers general lack of congestion make them a tool in my studio. In the living room they're simply no match for the relaxed musicality of my tube amps. All the best with that Ralph, you've got the ears for it. |
