Perreaux 350P


Anyone have any experience with this amp? Thoughts on driving N802's with it? Thanks

I owned a 350P that drove Aerial 7B's. The Perreaux constantly went into protection mode and shut down at moderately high volumes (meaning not room shaking). I don't recall the efficiency rating of the Aerial 7B's, but you can check it out on the Aerial website.
The 7b are 86db and the N802's are 91db, not sure what that means in terms of what you experienced...
Your N802's are significantly more efficient than the Aerial 7B's, so premature shut-down from the 350P may not be an issue.
I have to wonder what series of units that Perreaux started using "protection circuitry"? I know that the first and second series of their amps didn't use any on purpose. The owner's manual flat out stated that protection circuitry degrades sonic performance, so it was avoided for that reason. From what i'm reading here, the newer models must be gutless wonders compared to some of the older versions. Sean
