Theta Dreadnaught as a two channel amp

I don't think the Dreadnaught is about to run out of current with its 2.2 kva transformer in 2 channel mode(or any other mode.) The bass issue is due to the amp having no global negative feedback. This gives a fantastic midrange purity but makes the amp a touch lighter through the lower registers than amps with feedback. So, you have a trade off, better midrange purity or better bass.
Try a Belles 150a Reference or the 350a. They deliver similiar sonic purity with a kick butt bottom end. Read the Sounstage reviews at www.soundstage.com by Doug Blackburn. They are right on the money IMO. These are a couple of really overlooked amps because most don't know about them.

Bigtee, yes perhaps I shouldn't draw conclusions on matters of which I know little about. And also yes, the dread's midrange was super pure and liquid. The amp seems to not struggle with the sound at all, it sort of emerged, but also it was as if it was even trying to re-create any power from the deep end.

I have read about the global negative feedback, and perhaps this is exactly what is happening. I want that midrange, but WITH the bottom end.

I have never heard a Belles, so I cannot comment there.

Thanks.

"under price range that can smoke it is the BEL Mk IV or Mk V amp. (Then again, the BEL smokes most things...) "

What company are you talking about Bel Canto?

Agisthos,

Brown Electronic Labs (BEL) model 1001 MKIV or MKV

Bigtee, I am using the Dreadnaught I, how much more bottom end do you think the Dread II would deliver?
