using two Mcintosh MC2102 in mono parallel mode

what kind of speakers are you running that dip that low & what is their rated nonimal impendance? when you go paralell with the mc2102 the impendance drop's from 16, 8 & 4 ohm's to 4, 2 & 1 ohm's,i would think that your speaker's would reek havok on a mc2102 running it in stereo mode due to the low impendence dip,even if your running them from the 4 ohm tap the dip you mentioned is extremly low & cant be an easy load for that amp,does your current single mc2102 handel such a dip well?

if your speaker's truly dip that low then your probably on the right track getting another amp & running them in paralell because in paralell you can try your speakers on the 2 ohm tap or even the 1 ohm tap without putting such a demand on the amp.

i dont think ive ever heard of a speaker that dip's down to 0.7 ohm's are you really sure that figure is correct?

mike.

now you've peaked my interest in this,what did mac say about running 2 of them in paralell & will it help any issues with the low impendance?

thank's steve,i ran my mc2102 in bridged mono but i never had a reason to run it in paralell,good info to know though.
