Sumo Polaris 310 Current


I am looking at this amp, possibly to drive my Maggies, and I'd like to know what their current ratings are. I've looked around and it seems like all that is available is their wattage. I'd prefer to know things like the amps amperage availability, the transformer va, it's capacitance, and whatever other specs that would be of help in determining current and things like that,

Essentially I am trying to stick to amps with more available current, but in a more modest price bracket.

Another contender, and another amp that I'd love to know this information on is the Sumo Andromeda II. I've looked at this amp and it seems like an even better fit for what I am trying to do. My only concern is that it costs hundreds more.

Thanks! Aaron

You may want to look into early Audio Research solid state amplifiers like the D-100B and D-120. These amplifiers were designed for Maggies and you can pick one up for a reasonable price.
Harman/Kardon amps like the Signature 2.0 have very high current ratings and can be had for $300-500...

Hey Aaron

One person who would know is Mike Bettinger. He really knows SUMO and GAS amps really really well. He rebuilt my Sumo Nine and some older audio enthusiasts were impressed with how it sounded in a older B&W and Dalquist set-up.

Mike has a website GASAudio.net. He is also very approachable whenever I've contacted him.

Good luck. For me I would think the Sumo Andromeda II would handle the Maggies with ease.
