I wonder is there any room left to squeeze a supercharger? Sure I get it, but since the energy it makes wasn't designed to turn gears putting a horsepower rating on an amplifier seems a bit too gimmicky to me.
You want the TRUTH from those Wilson Alexia's, maybe you can't handle the TRUTH
56 bi-polar outputs, current till the cows come home, massive supply, multiple small power supply caps for fast release, 2000w into 2ohms that’s 2hp!!!!!

georgelofi OP1,739 postsTry driving a pair of Wilson Alexia’s < .9ohm or XLF’s and others, then you’ll need something like this, to get the best out of them. And lets face it, if you buy these >$50k speakers you want to hear the TRUTH and not compromise them with weaker amps that can’t pump out that kind of current. Cheers George I understand. But its not the only big kid on the block. Two Bryston 28 BSST3 mono blocks come in at less than the SAE at $19,200 The Bryston’s numbers are more impressive. I’ve never seen a Bryston bench sheet test at an amps published output ratings, always a percentage higher. Not a few watts, numbers worth mentioning. I can’t say which would fair better with the Wilson’s, just putting it out there. I know which one(s) I would bet on though. |
