Apogee Scintilla Power

I know this is an old topic but here in 2019 has anyone come across any “new” ideas for driving Scintilla 1 ohm’s?  Just looking for some options. The obvious ones i know/heard of are old Krell, H2O, Lamm (big money) and some pretty wild european amps? I currently have a pair of Sunfire 300’s (with Scintilla mod) that actually sound pretty good and it is amazing what Bob Carver achieved here but looking for the next step. Thanks for any ideas. No need telling me to sell my Scintilla’s.....:). I am all in and really do like the Apogee stuff. Maybe its nostalgic or the journey. Thanks very much.

Among your best choices below Boulder pricing is going to be the Sanders line, especially the Magtechs.

I genuinely don’t know of any amp that has a more overbuilt output stage than his do, nor anyone besides Krell who attempts full power supply regulation in mega amps besides the Magtechs.

The amps are especially built by ex-Threshold people at Coda but for the incredibly hard to drive demands of ESL's which reach 1/3 of an ohm at the top of the spectrum.

Since these are all available for home audition, I strongly recommend you take him up on his offer.



Best,
