Is my amp "High Current"?


Hi, I own a McCormack DNA 0.5 amp that has been upgraded to rev. A at SmC Audio. I read about speakers benefiting from using a high current amp, and was wondering if mine was considered to be one.

Thank you.

"High Current is most commonly used to describe an amp with the ability to deliver increasing amounts of current into low impedence loads. The ideal amp would deliver twice the current as the load halves. For example, 100 watts into 8 ohms and 200 watts into 4."

Aren't Mcintosh some of the highest current amps on the market, and don't they claim their amps deliver the same power at 2, 4, and 8 ohms?
