I heard a rumo(u)r that the CAT JL-2 can be configured to drive <1-ohm loads.....the Scintillas actually. This would be a HUGE improvement over the Wolcott. I ran with the Wolcott for a few years until I changed to a pair of JL-3 monos....not even close! So give Ken Stevens at CAT a call.
Hybrid - Tube / SS amp capable of sub 1 Ohm loads?
I've done searches and haven't found anything that really discusses this.
There are a few options that I've seen that are Hybrid that will do this, for example:The Conrad Johnson Evolution 2000.
That amp is getting old, is there anything more modern that will accomplish this? Am I chasing a pipe dream here? The Lamm series claims to be able to do it but it will not in reality. I know people that has had these and tried to run them on an Apogee Scintilla and it pooped out.
There might be some tube-amps that can operate with a such load, but they are more voltage driven, not current and the Scintilla needs current.
Thanks
Pete
