Actually Apogee speakers are not a highly reactive load. They are mainly a resistive load. Only the Scintilla ran at 1 ohm. Most other ribbon models run in the 3-4 ohm range, a horse of a different color entirely.

Actually the Scintillas have a 3 ohm wiring option, but don't sound as good this way.

THe old Krell KMA-100 and KMA-200 monoblocks were built with the Scintilla in mind.

A 1 Ohm load will barbeque most amps.
