Amp keeps shutting off
After trying search all posts to find what speakers the OP has, I believe it’s the speakers, causing amp shutdown. As every post the OP does says nothing about what speakers he has, mentions models of everything else, the only thing said by the OP about the speakers he has is that they are " My speakers take 200w continuous with peaks to 800w or 1000w" Something just don’t smell right here.

The Klipsch Epic CF 2. It’s a bright set of speakers that just need to be tamed. The spec sheet says as I wrote, 200w continuous, 800w peak. The Vidar has smoothed them out nicely, although I still have improvements to make. The speakers have never caused an amp to shutdown as the Vidar has in their 25 years of use. I don’t expect that to randomly change. |
oedstrom11 OP The Klipsch Epic CF 2. OK easy as pie to drive, go way back to my first post and do what I said. Cheers George |
I had a Schiit Vidar used as a monoblock go into protection mode when driving a Magnepan 1.7i speaker. Granted I was playing Jeff Beck loud. Still there is not enough headroom on that amp. Long since sold the Vidars. They were ultimately replaced by a pair of Bryston 28B3 monoblocks. No issues. Plenty of power and headroom. Contact Schiit for service. |
