High current amp search
Hello, so as the title says, I'm looking for a 200+ wats amp (8ohm) that will double it's power down to 2 ohms but importantly also check all the audiophile boxes so strong, articulate, fast bass, smooth resolving mid-range and extended non fatiguing highs. It's proving to be rather difficult because hardly any manufacturers list output into 2ohms. Budget is around 4000$ so I'm looking at mostly used. Besides something like the Krell FPB 300/400 CX which can be had for that much , what else can be recommended?
Here is how the Hypex Amplifiers compare with respect to low impedance power handling: Hypex Amplifier Selection Guide You can see they perform quite nicely at 2Ω |
@lukaszwk if you want to consider Class D, read this review. https://www.audioholics.com/amplifier-reviews/nad-m23-amplifier |
An integrated that doesn't get a lot of attention is the Alluxity One Mk II. 200, 400, 800 watts into 8, 4, 2 ohms respectively. It also, has some watts in pure class A. Kind of a sleeper brand but the heritage behind the company is first class. In the used market they are about $5k. I really like mine. |
@lukaszwk you received some very good information and advice from @atmasphere. To help you better, maybe you can tell us what speakers you want to drive with this high current amp. Also, the article link posted by @ditusa is a good read as well. |
