I'm not sure it does fully double into 4 ohms. That seems to be what PS Audio has on it's site but if you look in the manual you will find something different. And when asked about the 250 driving difficult loads Mr King said "Well music is transient." I'm not sure what to think about BHK 250.
PS Audio BHK 250 Power Amp owners?
I am considering some upgrades to my system, planning to go with a set of Magnepans and the right amp to drive them.
Reading about various powerful amps to drive Magnepans as they need, I am curious about the BHK250, which is hybrid amp with tube input stage and then a transistor output stage. Being designed by Bascom King, it must be at least very good, if not excellent. Instead of a Krell or Levinson or Pass amp I am thinking that a hybrid BHK amp might do the imaging part better than straight solid state while still supplying enough juice for the Magnepans.
So I would like to ask if any users here have or have had the BHK250, how you liked it, what speakers you drove with it. And if you got rid of it, what were the main reasons.
