Need Recommendations for SS amp for 2 ohm load

I would try your VTL's first.

I have Innersound Kaya's and use a Innersound DRP-500 which was the predessor to the Magtech amp. This amp is the best amp I have tried.

The most powerful tube amp I tried was an Audio Valve Challenger mono's at 180 watts per channel. These worked ok but were not ideal. I would love to try some bigger tube amps but the heat they would put off is a concern.

I once asked Atmasphere if his MA-2's would work and he said that they would and he had a client that was using them with my speakers.

The Innersounds and Sanders Sound speakers impedance dips to 2 ohms at 20 khz. If the treble is rolled off with your VTL's I would be concerned but if not then they should drive them just fine.

Sorry just reread your post. I would just get his analog crossover instead. That would solve your problem. The 10b uses a active analog crossover and the 10c uses the digital.

I don't know if you have an analog source but if you ever want one you will have to convert it to digital before you can play it through your speakers with a digital crossover.
That is not an ideal situation.

What is the rest of your system? I use a nice tube preamp. I agree you need some tubes in the system.

I tried a solid state preamp with my system and it was too bright for me. It was a used Innersound RCP-1. Their reference preamp. I spoke with Roger about it and it seems he had left the company before it was released. It did not sound like he had much to do with it's design.

I have listened to his setup at RMAF twice and both times I did not hear any exessive brightness. Both systems were all solid state.

The first time was with the analog crossover. Second time was with the digital crossover. Unfortunatley I was unable to listen to my own music the second time because he did not have a cd player in the room. He only had a hard drive setup.

The Spectron is a digital amp. I remember Roger saying that digital amps don't work well with his panels. I'm not sure why that is but I would ask him first.

I think with the preamp you have you should be fine with his esl amp. He may let you do a trial period on one.

I just looked at his web site and read about the upgrade your getting. Looks like new panels and crossover. You must have one of the earlier eros. I think he perfected the panels by the time the eros 3.5 came out.

If you find a good deal on the Parasound JC-1s they should work well. I used to use their little brother A-21 on my Kaya's. The Halo A-21 is 250 wpc and was a little sweeter sounding than my innersound amp but not as transparent. Also was a little underpowered. The JC-1's have more juice so they should be a good match.

Gerald,

Glad to hear you are enjoying the update.

I have no intention of changing my speakers any time soon.

Cheers,

Sean
