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?
@rauliruegas raul the only issue i have now is I'm experiencing better bass and dynamics than i thought humanly possible. I enjoy debating with you- if you're ever in my region consider yourself invited to come, drink my gin, dig my herb and have your mind blown☺ |
I go way back with amps - 1974 SAE 31B, Dynaco 410, Threshold Stasis 3, Krell KSA-100, ARC D-52, Jadis Classic 100, Pass Aleph 5, Classe CA-400, Pass X-150. The Wotan is very similar to the Pass X-150 IMO. Big but fast and trim bass, coherent, clean almost soft treble. I run the Kara/Wotan/Yggy Singular driving the BMR Philharmonic Monitor v2 which goes down to about 2.8 ohms briefly in the bass - no issues. I dislike underdamped bass, the Wotan has no issues with that. Have not heard a Coda so I cannot address that comparison. The Schiit Tyr have an even more pure sound than the Wotan if that's the goal.
