You clearly prefer vertical biamping AHB2 than bridging monos. My Soundlab Esl has only one pair of terminals. What do I do in this case?
Also, someone told me that since these speakers can go down to 1-2 ohm at high frequency, AHB2 may not be able to handle it. What do you think?
thanks, Jay
Hi Jay sorry was away for a while when you PM’d
Not just vertical bi-amping https://ibb.co/jfnTwTc if both amps are the same.
But horizonal https://ibb.co/VMSks36 also if both amps are not the same.
But you have a problem that can’t be fixed by either of these because they are full range with no xover to be able to be split for biamping.
And as for bridging the AHB2’s into that kind of load 1-2ohm, that’s a no from me also.
You only have one option really, that is to look at other amps for those magnificent beast of a speaker to drive them properly.
I suggest to stay with linear solid state, and suggest looking for high current high Class-A bias linear Bi-Polar (BJT) output stage amps, such as Gryphon poweramp/s or a cheaper alternative Parasound JC1 Halo monoblocks, both which a have a high/low class-A bias switching, for seriouse listening (high bias) or for dinner/background/party time listening low Class-A bias listening.
Others are Boulder, D'Agostino, etc etc
