Manley 440 monos to drive low impedance ribbons?


Hi!
I have a pair of Apogee Scintilla speakers, on the
nominal 1 Ohm setting (drops .5) and want to try to drive them with tubes (presently I use a pair of Bryston 7b ST's).
The most powerfull monos I can afford (second hand) would
be a pair of mono Manleys, delivering 270W each and 540W
each (triode and tetrode mode, respectivly).
Anybody tried to attempt anything similar? Results...?
Thanks!

John, bro, Do you have the Scinnies now? Mine will show up within two months (that's the price I pay for fool proof shipping). I saw your post on our Apogee site. Apparently nobody has used the combo, thus no answer. I'll be trying the Pass X600 blocks I got, like the Scintillas, here at Agon.

Are the Manleys something you have? You know you will need an amp that has been OK'd by it's manufacturer for a 1 ohm load. There is not much out there that does.
