@charles1dad Yes, and 2.83x is for 2ohm vs 16ohm comparison. For 2ohm vs 4ohm it would be only 1.41x the current.
2 Ohm Tekton Pendragons
I was just looking at the new models at Tekton. They have a very interesting new version of the Pendragon with the 5-driver array from the Dynamo Monitor. Looks good. But it's $2200/pr loudspeaker. Is there a similarly priced audiophile quality amplifier that can consistently drive a 2 ohm load. And that's an average rating which means that it must dip below 2 ohms at some frequencies.
Does this puzzle anyone other than me?

Atmasphere has shared some seriously well informed bits of information on this forum, and in the form of articles written. this one, explains quite well, the challenges of low impedance speakers and how they interact with amplifiers: http://www.atma-sphere.com/en/resources-common-power-amplifier-myths.html And seeing as how a speaker requires an amplifier, this is kinda relevant stuff. The amplifier feeds, the speaker eats. Easy loads makes for a happy amplifier. Hope once this global shutdown eases, that I will get to hear Fritz’s speakers. The Acoustic Reality Series Crossover he uses is quite a simple circuit that helps the amp to see an easy load. I have recently been experimenting with the AR-SXO and using it in a diy speaker. Crazy amount of detail. Phase coherent, time aligned (coax) and easy load combined to generate this level of distortion free detail. |
Also told me to order 8ohm. Again, I don't know if my amplifier is happy or not. Even if it had feelings, which it does not, I could not possibly care. It's job is to make me happy. If you think your job is to make your amplifier happy by all means do whatever you think it will take to have it crying tears of joy. Tell it bed time stories. Feed it cookies and hot chocolate. |
