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.

Dear Koestner: +++++ " I read about speakers benefiting from using a high current amp " +++++

It benefit if the electrical speakers impedance curve goes really down, say below 3-4 Ohms. Along with this HC desired factor is a desired too low output amplifier impedance, say below 0.1 Ohms.

Now if your amplifier meets what Montytx posted then it is a HC one.

Regards and enjoy the music.
