I asked this same question recently and didn't get a useful response -- maybe because I didn't provide enough info. What is the low frequency driver's nominal impedance and how about efficiency? I have a pair of subs with a 2.5 ohm nominal impedence that are over 90 dB per watt efficient. I don't need a lot of watts; I need current drive into low ohms. I'm looking at a Magtech or possibly a Coda. Plinius attracted my attention but not sure how it'd fare at sub- 4 ohms. My system is tri-amped, I use different amps and I have no problem with coherency but I have heard this argument. It certainly shouldn't be much of an issue with an active XO @ a low crossover point and a steep slope.
Bass amp for a tri-amped system?
Folks,
I have a speaker-required active crossover which feeds the mid/highs to 2, fet input/tube output 200 watt mono amps and the low frequencies to a Belles 350 stereo amp. I'm interested in tightening up the bass a bit and wondering if there is an older amp out there that might replace the Belles. I know the Krells have always had good grip on the bass, but wondering if there is anything else out there. Should I be thinking of any issues? Compatibility?
