The McCormack will do much better with a low impedance reactive speaker like an ML. B&K's typically work best with relatively benign, high impedance loads. Sean

McCormack DNA-1 vs. B&K ST202 or 2140
Hey now...
I've narrowed down to two amps to drive my pending Martin Logans (SL3 or Quest). Both of which (i think) are 4ohm and have a max range of 200w (on paper).
Now, the DNA-1 is rated at 185w @ 8ohm so i'm sure its pumping out a ton at 4ohm.
the B&K 202 is 150w, and the 2140 is 140w. I'm sure both are over 200w (but not over 300w) at 4ohm.
any insight as to which would drive these big MLs best?
I know what all these amps sound like
