dsper OP (Without seeing any independent tests) Of course they did, they want a sale. No one disputes that they can’t drive the Thiel CS5’s to a point, just if they don’t try to double from 8 to 4 to 2ohm, you won’t get the very best out of them, they will be compromised in the bass, if you don’t mind that that go ahead. But not if you drove them with amps like the ones I have described, that can come close to doubling wattage all the way, from 8, 4, and 2ohms, I believe the Thiel’s are worth the right amp to make them sing top to bottom, don’t you?? it’s up to you.

The ability to double power as load impedance is halved has nothing to do with how well the amp will play bass- even if the bass is where the load impedance is lowest. Quite simply, it doesn't work that way; a lot more has to do with the output impedance of the amp which is independent of its ability to double power. |
Not at all in your wheelhouse, just an FYI option I overlooked mentioning in my earlier response. https://www.bobcarvercorp.com/crimson-raven-features-specs I drive a pair of 3.6 ohm Avalon Acoustics Eidolons off the 4 ohm tap with the earlier less powerful 180s with aplomb. Compared to an MFA D75 which would run out of steam and the Hypex nCore 400s described in my previous response. Point-to-point wiring, low heat, group biasing, switchable feedback, and untypical low maintenance. Again, just an FYI. |
