Bryston 4B-ST


Will this amp tolerate a 1~3 Ohm load, or will it
THRIVE on it and not even notice ?

Thank you, folks.
My listening interest is "modest" SPL levels,
classical/orchestral.
Speakers will be multi-amped homebuilt units,
with the 4B-ST in the bass. However, bass section
of the speakers is as yet not finalized. I'm researching
the power requirements of low boost/equalization.
Not thrilled with what I'm learning, so I may back off
a little. Oh well, that's OK.
I don't want to make Mr. Bryston too angry!
I have considered saving my pennies and getting a pair
of 7B-ST monoblocks. However, then I think I might be at
the point where I need to educate myself on any/all amps
that can tolerate 1-Ohm loads, not just Bryston.
Don't know if that's a short list or not.
Or be more mindful of the new speakers' power requirements.
Thanks again, everyone. I appreciate your comments very
much.

Hello Hifihvn,
No sir, no measurements, speakers are not done yet.
Dual woofers are strongly considered though, so that alone
would reduce the load. It didn't cross my mind to simply
add resistance, that would be pretty foolproof.
