Any thoughts on Music Reference RM200

I am thinking of purchasing a Music Reference RM200. They have been out for some time and I am wondering if they have changed over the years to warrant a new purchase or look for a used amp. I would be using these on Apogee Scintillas so they better be in top operating condition. I am told that they can handle a one ohm load. Any thoughts on their sonic signature would also be appreciated. Bob

If the RM200 worked into a deead short, you`d be under powered.

It's a great amp but I don't think it is enough amp for the Scintillas.

if you must use tubes for the apogees, the rm200(new or recently used)is a great amp.

EveAnna Manley of Manley Labs once mentioned at the Audioasylum forum that their amps could be ordered setup for 1 ohm load...another option for you also

Give her a call...can't hurt to explore

Thanks for the responses! I was also thinking of using two of the RM200's. I believe they can be strapped into mono. Dave, thanks for the tip on the Manleys. I definitely am open minded on what to use for the Scintillas. I have been told that the RM200's are great amps, what amps would you most closely compare them to? Bob
