I have a Marantz PM10 based on Hypex Class D that sounds quite good and is stable down to 2 ohms. It drives a pair of B&W 802 Diamonds that are a difficult load with ease.
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?

Look, the first target to add a pair of self powered subwoofers is not to add more bass but to improve the midrange/high frequencies and additional way better bass range. The target is not: boom, boom but better quality level overall frequency range putting at minimum the I M D and T H D of that two channel room/system.
With out that " putting at minimum IMD/THD " you just can't do it. That crossing 55ohz of your speakers is just out of target to achieve top high quality overall performance level in any twochannel audio home system.
Yes, that's me but you are the ONE. Good luck.

@rauliruegas you're losing me here, I'm starting to think you didn't really read my last few posts and you just want to say what you want to say. I specifically said that I DON'T have problems integrating my sub and my speakers. i said clearly they integrate beautifully. This whole thread is about suggestions for high current application. Btw I will run my speakers full range and supplement the deep bass with a subwoofer because that works the best. By far and away. I'm my system and most others. |
@lukaszwk While Raul’s suggestion is a good one you are also correct about 100Hz. If the subs reproduce frequencies above about 80Hz they can attract attention to themselves and so make a blend tricky. So the best use of them is having them crossed over at a lower frequency such as 60 Hz and use a steep slope. That will allow you to place them where they are most effective. Multiple subs (up to 4) will do this even better, as I mentioned in my post on the prior page about my speakers. Raul is dead on about the use of subs in his posts just above. Breaking up standing waves goes a long ways to getting things right in the room- that’s 90-95% of must room problems.
