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?

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. 😎

Thanks for suggestions. Speakers are definitely staying, I adore them. And are irrelevant. The amp has to be able to drive any speaker I may acquire in the future. The argument that high current amps are somehow less refined or relaxed sounding I'll take with a grain of salt since most high end amps out there ara high current designs. No one is paying those prices for amps that sound strained. It fact it would be a low current amp that will strain with harder loads. I refuse to compromise on sound because a speaker is not an easy load. High sensitivity speakers have their own drawbacks. It tubes and SET's are your thing, great. They're not for me.
