BEL 1001 MkIV Power Amp/Soundlab Speaker Synergy?

BEL AMPS ARE GREAT ! MY BEL 2002 ( 2 X BEL 1001 IN ONE BOX ) SOUNDED GREAT ON MY A-1 UNTIL I BORROWED MY FRIEND'S BERNING ZH-270. IF MY BONUS CHECK IS FAT ENOUGH, I MAY CONSIDER UPGRADING FROM A SINGLE ZH-270 TO A PAIR OF BRIDGE ZH-270 FOR MY A-1. DROP ME A LINE IF YOU WANNA AUDITION THE DAVID BERNING ZH-270.

High current is not the only important spec in an amplifier. A good example is the Innersound amplifier. It addresses both high current requirements and high rail voltage requirements (required to maintain high power into rising impedances). Forget about the inrush current. It only means that there is quite a bit of bus capacitance. This is good mind you but, not the only feature that matters.

In the bridged mode you amplifier is likely not spec'd into 4 ohms or less as the amp will not be happy continuously driving power into impedances this low - distortion will be heading north. But, the bridged mode is probably the best mode for the SL due to its impedance characteristics. In the bridged mode you will have decent current output capability coupled with the ability to better drive higher output impedances.

By the way, BEL's are excellent amplifiers. I would stay away from the tricky switchers. I never liked them on SL's (at least the ones that I have tried).

The BEL puts out 50 w into 8 ohms, 100 w into 4 ohms, and 200 w into 2 ohms.
