@gnoworyta the preamp is also PS Audio, the model is the BHK Signature
Too Much Power
Please bear with me as I am nowhere near an expert at this type of thing...
I recently read a review of the PS Audio Stellar M1200 mono amps. I was somewhat taken aback by their power rating of 600 watts at 8 ohms/1200 watts at 4 ohms. Made me wonder what, if any, are the drawbacks to that much power? Welcome your thoughts...

I bought these to replace a Peachtree 220. They are light weight, dead quiet and sound great. I got an offer from PS Audio to trade them for a BHK Stereo 250 so I accepted and shipped the monoblocks back. The 250 is a lot noisier but is creamy and wonderful. Too much power is better than not enough, and you would have to turn up the volume almost all the way to get close to the maximum output. The 250 watts is more than I need because my speakers have powered subwoofers and the input impedance is over 20 ohms at low frequencies. |
@russ69 I know 900 watts sounds like a stretch and I can neither confirm or deny, though that is what's listed on the product literature

@stevewharton Wow. I had not seen that before. That is quite a claim. Not sure I'd want to test that claim. Thanx for the reply. |
