McCormack's might come closest to your need for a "tube" sound while still being able to control and drive a speaker at a 2 ohm load. I'm using a DNA 500 with my Apogees and there is no strain on the amp from these beasts of a load.
Need Recommendations for SS amp for 2 ohm load
Hi,
I'm in the process of upgrading my Innersound Eros speaker to Roger Sanders new 10b design. As an outcome, I need recommendations for a Solid State Amp that can handle 2ohm impedance and the phase swings along with the capacitance characteristic of the Innersound/Sandersound speakers.
I have the VTL MB450 which is a great amp, but the big tube amp won't be good with the wicked load of the electrostatic speaker.
I really prefer tube amps but the review on 6moon for Sandersounds 10c speaker strongly advise against tube amps due to the digital crossover it uses. My upgraded speaker will be using the same digital crossover, so my search now for a new SS amp that can handle this.
I'm looking in the budget range of $2-4K max...
