Guy asked what time it is and you told him how to build a clock
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?

@gavman , Traditional Scottish cottages have 2 feet thick rubber walls??! Does it really rain that much there? 😃 |
@thecarpathian oh cr@p is that what i typed? I meant to say 'two feet thick rubble walls' Good catch☺ |
@gavman , No, you wrote it correctly. I’m the bone head who read it wrong! |
I feel that this is close to the mark: Legacy i-V2 Ultra https://legacyaudio.com/products/view/iv2 The manual states: The elegant amplifier operates at nearly 80% efficiency at rated output and delivers more than 600 watts into 8 ohms all channels driven while remaining stable into impedances as low as 2.7 ohms. Is 2.7 close enough? As to current (given voltage and watts): Maximum sustained power consumption: 2100 Watts @ 120VAC into 20 amp 4200 Watts @ 120VAC into 40 amp circuit Price is a little over $4K but less than $5K.
