Check into the Music Reference RM-200.Call Roger and ask him.They do 2 ohms great,Not sure about 1 ohm.JD
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

Wolcott amplifiers are the only tube amps I am aware of that might do it. I'd also suggest contacting Roger at Music Reference. Otherwise, I don't recall any Apogee owners here mentioning the use of tube or hybrid amps with their speakers. |
