While still beyond that price range, I think one of the few contenders and perhaps the least expensive of them: some Krell’s. Try and find an appropriate one that has been properly recapped. If not, it might need it soon. Can be rather expensive, as can the shipping costs.

Krell was made for them...LOL the problem is the $$ to run them and maintain the ones he could afford? HEAT.... yahoo! Class ds... they will sing, You'll pay a LOT less for power, and sweat a little less, too.. 1000.00 usd two 500 wpc rails. 1 ohm stable. Hypex MP500? I think somebody chime in... THAT will run them perfect. They will have the bass they were suppose to have...Now don't throw on, "The Club" 50C, and bombard the poor things..., hee hee they will sound good though.. Just not too long...you'll smoke um.... Regards... |
unsound: "I’m not saying Class D is not capable of sub 2 Ohm loads, but not many units out there with independent tests to support such load capability." Hello unsound, I understand your skepticism. I know for certain that D-Sonics previous top of the line monoblocks, the M2-1500M, were capable of handling very low impedance loads because they were used to drive Apogee Duetta speakers on the 6 Moons review of these amps a few years ago, here’s a link to that review: https://6moons.com/audioreviews/dsonic/1.html Now, these were the older model D-Sonic amps and I’m not 100% certain their current top of the line monos, the M3a-1500M, are also capable of driving the Duettas near 1 ohm impedances at certain frequencies. I do know the M3a amps utilize different class D power modules, the newer and highly respected Pascal XPRO2 modules with built-in switch mode power supplies that some Rowland amps also use, but I’m not sure of their minimum impedance capabilities. If he’s interested, I’d suggest the OP either call the owner of D-Sonic, Dennis Deacon, and ask him or consider buying a used pair of the very good M2s and save some money. Tim |
