Heard anything about the PS BHK Signatures?
Apogee Scintilla Power
I know this is an old topic but here in 2019 has anyone come across any “new” ideas for driving Scintilla 1 ohm’s? Just looking for some options. The obvious ones i know/heard of are old Krell, H2O, Lamm (big money) and some pretty wild european amps? I currently have a pair of Sunfire 300’s (with Scintilla mod) that actually sound pretty good and it is amazing what Bob Carver achieved here but looking for the next step. Thanks for any ideas. No need telling me to sell my Scintilla’s.....:). I am all in and really do like the Apogee stuff. Maybe its nostalgic or the journey. Thanks very much.

Not sure the BHK’s can handle the 1ohm load but have not asked PS Audio directly. Certainly that would be a great option with some hybrid magic. Would love to hear if anyone confirms a thumbs up. PS Audio also has some really great class D amps now. Never heard them but folks seem to really like them... |

If you ever get a chance to audition the Classe DR3 VHC I mentioned earlier in the thread, do so (hard to find as less than 200 made). The pair I have were driving the heck out of Scintillas when I bought the amps. Run in stereo they put out 40 watts into 8 ohms. Run as a pair of bridged amps, the put out 500 watts into 1 ohm. |
