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?

I’d listen to Ralph! Plenty of great speakers out there that might make it easier for your amp. 

@faustuss crown does make good amplifiers, the xti series are meant to be connected to a pc and have total control of basically the whole amp from attack speed, eq, crossover, db gain or decrease, delay, and more also can set the limiters so you don’t blow the speakers 

Threshold Stasis; any model really.  For example: Stasis 2: 6 amps continous; 25 amps instantaneous.

Have Jon Soderberg dial it in; look out!  Everything is more than factory.

@muvluv,

I agree! I have a Crown Studio Reference 1 amp, damping factor is 20,000 great amp  see here. For in the what it's worth category, no speaker needs a damping factor greater than 100. 😎
