@deep_333 a lot of speakers have a dip to around 2ohms, some that you and others probably think are quite sensitive, it's just that most manufacturers don't publish the impedance graphs of those speakers, all your ever see is "nominal impedance 4 ohms". No minimal impedance is mentioned either, unless it is complimentary. Usually it takes outside tests to find what those are.
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?

@lukaszwk An impedance drop upto 3.2 ohms is permissible for claiming a nominal impedance of 4ohm on the specification (IEC standard). If the manufacturer claimed his speaker is 4 ohms and his speaker dropped to 2 ohm or 1 ohm, he is also a liar and a fraud. Return it to him quickly and get your money back. Sue him for damaging your expensive amps and the mental stress he caused. Get him...

@deep_333 I agree, minimum impedance along with nominal should always be mentioned, otherwise it's useless information. Unfortunately it happens all the time. In fact I would say it's the rule and not the exception. |
