High current amp search

Dear @lukaszwk  : """ The amount of bass isn't really the problem it's the quality """ 

My advise is still the same when we are talking of QALITY level performance inyour audio home system:

"""" 

and your whole system will shines too due that NOW that critical bass range will be handled by a dedicated subs designed with dedicated woofers and amplifiers for that specific range.

With that you can forget of ttttthat high current amp because you just do not needs.

Next an example of the type of subs you need and that not only comes with the high pass filter but has the lower THD around of 0.5% only ! !:

Velodyne Acoustics Digital Drive Plus Subwoofers – Velodyne USA

With your speakers almost no other solution can outperforms my advise if you want to listen a truly high quality level performance from your room/system. ! ! 

Dear friends, sure that I understand that as the OP you are really in deep behind that high current amp aev en if could be not the best alternative for the OP quality system performance and I think tha<t audio forums main target is for help any one of us to find out the " best " alternatives for what we are looking about.

Look that 2.7 ( 2.5 )ohms in the bass means that that impedance is what sees " suddenly " for a few seconds in a very short bass frequency range the amplifier and any 200 watts output at 8 ohms amp can handeled with out been disturbed and even the system owner can't to be aware of because that short term very short bass frequency range comes along other frequencies and in the other side almost all the amps comes designed with an overload margin ( headroom ) to avoid klipping.

With all respect I think that some of us as the OP are " soffocating/immerse " through a " glass of water ".

Just saw this rare SMcAudio DNA 500 and think you’d be nuts not to consider it.  It’s a great deal for the already excellent stock amp, but this has been heavily modified to Platinum level with significantly upgraded caps, etc. by the designer to an even higher level that makes this an incredible value.  500 Watts into 8 Ohms, 900 into 4, and God only knows what into 2 Ohms but you can call SMcAudio and I’m sure they can tell you.  If that’s not enough power I don’t know what to say, but this is a SOTA amp for $2900 and won’t last long so act fast if you’re interested.  This is an end game level amp.

Really?. You are an experienced audiophile and I think a MUSIC lover too and by any astandard at any price that is not " and end game level amp ".

@gavman  owns a Boulder 2060 and IMH even against the Boulder ( is a really challenge to the 2060 at quality level performance ) this Levinson monobloks are truly end amps and a bargain at this price:

Mark Levinson 20.6 Class A Monoblock Power Amplifiers

Yes superior quality to what you own. So, you can get and can confirm for sure and if you do don't like it you can sale easy. The only change we have to make on those 20.6s are the electrolitic filter caps ( Vishay are the best ones down there . ) in the power suply,2 on each monoblock.

@rauliruegas  I'm perfectly happy with my 2160, when i replace it will be with 3060's. I never heard a Levinson amp that i liked. I dont like the dry sound.

I've read your comments on this thread, and with the greatest of respect, have concluded that you don't know what you are talking about- you describe situations that are the polar opposite of my experiences.

I am 100% of the belief, as a result of experience, that my main speakers must be flat to 20hz, must be driven by a solid state power amplifier(s) and that my system sounds best when the subs, which must be adjacent to the main speakers and firing in the same direction,  come in at 40hz and below.

Furthermore it's been my experience that mainstream audiophiles in the US rarely understand the bass requirements of modern music, so their advice needs to be taken with a pinch of salt- they consider metal to be about as demanding as things can get.  Its evident on this thread, a high level of technical expertise that somehow blinds them to the real point: The syrens of modern dance music sing loudly in the sub 40hz bass region, and the requisite bottom end extension, solidity and drive just cannot be achieved with valve power amplification, (nor can the fear factor.) although i am partial to mixing a valve pre and solid state power amp. 

As was said about the legendary pro-sound creations of Richard Long, the system needs to be able to make love to you.

So I do share your appreciation of Velodyne subs. So far they are the most musical i have experienced....but i would never dream of rolling them in at 80hz. This speaks very badly to your choice of main speakers and amplification.
