High current amp search

@rauliruegas 

Agree with your post. Incidentally, the base Classé DR-3 was rated at 25wpc, but the DR-3 VHC was capable of 40wpc. Great classic amps.

Come to think of it, it's a vicious circle. The amp makers rarely tell you 2 ohm output, the speaker makers rarely list minimum impedance so how are you supposed to make an informed decision about matching your gear?? That's why this whole "hobby" is such a hit and miss. Honestly, I'm starting to think this is being done maybe on purpose. If we had all the information we need readily available, without having to contact the manufacturer and getting the info (or maybe not) far fewer amps and speakers would be sold and resold. Of course there is more to it than impedance matching but it's one variable that could be eliminated at the start. 

+++++++1 for CODA #8 or #16, I don't own them because my speakers are relatively efficient; but I have friends that have them.....and I own the CODA S5.5 which is a high current, if not as powerful as the others.

Sanders Magtech $5,900, 500wpc into 8 ohms, 900wpc into 4 ohms, and is 2ohm stable....though I do not know what power is delivered at 2 ohms. Another plus, Sanders amps are manufactured by CODA, and give their input on their design.

PS The Sanders amplifiers are designed to be stable with electrostatic speakers, which routinely can drop to 2 ohms or less

Anyone interested in knowing their speaker's impedance curve should just get one of those devices from Parts Express. For about $100 you can measure the curves of as many speakers as you like. You just need a computer with a USB port. Having this knowledge for only $100 compared to what people are spending on their systems is a no brainer. I think it's called a "DATS".
