Need Recommendations for SS amp for 2 ohm load

Spectron Musician III?! I've never heard of it, but seems like something worth checking out.

I had initially been thinking about the Krell or the Ampzilla amps, but the recommendations here for Sunfire, JC1, etc, does give me something to research; thanks!

The Spectron is a digital amp. I remember Roger saying that digital amps don't work well with his panels. I'm not sure why that is but I would ask him first.

I think with the preamp you have you should be fine with his esl amp. He may let you do a trial period on one.

I just looked at his web site and read about the upgrade your getting. Looks like new panels and crossover. You must have one of the earlier eros. I think he perfected the panels by the time the eros 3.5 came out.

If you find a good deal on the Parasound JC-1s they should work well. I used to use their little brother A-21 on my Kaya's. The Halo A-21 is 250 wpc and was a little sweeter sounding than my innersound amp but not as transparent. Also was a little underpowered. The JC-1's have more juice so they should be a good match.

Check out CODA, made in Sacramento, CA. Excellent sonics and stability in driving difficult loads.

Sarcher,

I took a look at the Spectron, turns out they too are switching amps which is like my current nuforce Ref 8. They can certainly handle the 2 ohm loads, but as you mentioned Roger has made it clear that switching amps don't pair up well with his speakers.

I did have the old Eros MKI the very first model :-) So this upgrade will be a big jump forward. I actually just got it today and took a bit longer to get it in then I expected because my EROS is so old it didn't have the snap in wire plugs to match the new panel. I had to very carefully cut out the three wires from each panel from plastic snap casing...that took longer than the everything else....but WOW, what a difference!

Even with my nuforce it is sounding great!

These speakers are restrictive on the type of amps that you can mated with, but it's so worth the pain :-)

Enjoying my music and I sense it's going to be a long night...

Gerald,

Glad to hear you are enjoying the update.

I have no intention of changing my speakers any time soon.

Cheers,

Sean
