Not sure how they are getting those power ratings with only 2 kt 150 per channel Seems dreamy.
Conrad Johnson ART amps - Watts at 8 ohms vs 4 ohms
I had always thought of the ART150 and ART300 as being a 150 watt and 300 watt amp, respectively. Recently I noticed that on their website they are in fact rated as 150 watts into 4 ohms, and 300 watts in to 4 ohms. I've read that in many cases what puts out 200 watts at 8 ohms, for example, will put out 400 watts at 4 ohms, 800 watts at 2 ohms, 100 watts at 16 ohms, etc.
In this case, it would mean the ART150 generates 75 watts into 8 ohms (150 into 4), which does not sound right.
Can anyone shed some light on what these amps put out at 8 ohms? Would be appreciated. Plan on asking CJ directly as well and will certainly report back what they say, if it's of interest to anyone.
