Can the Manley Neoclassic 300B handle a 2 ohm load


Hi all,

l am very interested in this amp, however my speakers have a load dip down to 2 ohms, although nominally they are 3 ohms plus. Rated at 96db efficency however.

Would the Manley be OK with this type of load, or will the bottom end be MIA?

Thanks for all the great repsonses.

While not what l wanted to hear it seems there are other options l can look into. l will check out the Decaware and impedance matching autoformers. l am matching upto a Supratek Cabernet so maybe a solid state amp may be OK. l am sure there are nice, natural sounding ones out there, l just havent heard them yet :)

Anyhow, enjoy your Xmas break all.

Cheers Simon
Reubent,

Thanks for the Decware suggestion. l have spent the last couple of hours searching for info on them. They are very highly regaraded and can handle the 2 ohm load. Look like a great option and with a return policy too got to be worth considering.

Hi all,

Thanks for the interesting discussion.

My speakers are Equinox Jupiters, link here;

Eccletique, l have decided not to go down the autoformer road. Decware's amps look like a possibility, going SS is also. Never heard of KR aplifiers, will do dome more googling!

Merry Christmas all.
