Removing a ZERO from the price of amps
I listened to the first part of Bruno’s interview. There is some truth to what he is saying........but, tons of things that affect sound cannot be measured. For instance, I just changed 4 inches of Hypex cable on the input of a Purifi based amp I ... 
Singular Amplification Experience; Review Now Published
High end audio is like art......no one sees it the same. Quarter mile drag racing is a science. There are only 6 factors that get you down the quarter mile the fastest and quickest:.....weight, drag, traction, horsepower and gearing.....and then t... 
Sub $1k Power Conditioners? Any Assistance Appreciated...
Guys, you are living in the past. Please check out this review: http://enjoythemusic.com/magazine/equipment/0119/Goal_Zero_Yeti_400_Lithium_Portable_Power_Station_Review.htm The reviewer now uses a Yeti 1200 on his Pass XA250.8 as well for even be... 
What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load
Its so obvious you are in ego protection mode. Ralph is not even talking about power......in fact, you are the one that brought up (for no apparent reason)....your thoughts on bandwidth and GaNs here. They have nothing to do with power and you kno... 
What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load
Simple fact, very few amps.....including class A or A/B doubles its power down to 2 ohms. For instance, the Parasound JC1+ was measured at 1200 watts into 2 ohms (if it doubled all the way down to 2 ohms then it would put out 2000 watts).....which... 
What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load
I did not see this earlier.  Yes, you can buy mono blocks using the 2000 watt into 2 ohm Ncore 2k modules, the 3000 watt Hypex power supply with Weiss discrete buffers and Sparko regulators for $3200 the pair.  This will drive the crap out of thos... 
What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load
George,You are not even addressing his statement. Class D can already drive low impedances.......1100 watts from the NC1200 and 1000 watts from the mono 1200AS1 (all at 2 ohms). Tons of high end manufacturers use class d in their subs and in their... 
Class-D recommendation
Megachino suppose to be very good. However, you can get a mono block pair of Ncore NC1200 based class D amps for $1700 (rated at 1200 watts a channel into 2 ohms) from VTV Amplifier. Would be killer up to 600hz. If you get the more tweaked out ver...

Check out post #42. $5500 all out Apollon stereo amp using NC1200 modules A/Bed with $20K mono Krells. Sexy amp! https://www.whatsbestforum.com/threads/rocking-the-boat-nord-hypex-nc1200-signature-amplifier.27730/page-3  
What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load
Yes, I had seen that test. I would guess that the module only? (he he) does a little under 1100 watts into 2 ohms at 1% distortion. Plenty of grunt for 98% of listeners on 95% of the speakers in the world.  I have never read a post that said any a... 
What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load
The Mola Mola amps are using the Hypex NC1200 module.  You can buy mono block amps from $1700 a pair using these same modules.  VTV Amplifier have $1700 mono blocks using the built in stock input stage and $3000 the pair with expensive Weiss discr... 
New Linear Parasound Halo JC1+ monoblocks, an even more improved new John Curl design
Who cares about a few speakers that are hard to drive? Only their owners and you. You keep saying it is so important....but to whom? If 95% of speakers (including low impedance ones) can be driven by the NC1200 then who are you talking to? I said ... 
New Linear Parasound Halo JC1+ monoblocks, an even more improved new John Curl design
If you have speakers like that then it makes sense that you MIGHT have to spend tons of money on big monster amps.  There are incredible sounding speakers that don't need 83 lb. back breakers and bank breakers to power them.  Most of us audiophile... 
New Linear Parasound Halo JC1+ monoblocks, an even more improved new John Curl design
BTW, You can buy mono block amps using these same NC1200 modules, same Hypex 1200 watt supply and Weiss op amps from VTV for $3000 the pair ($2600 with best Sparko Labs input op amp). Not as good of output wiring and output connections, nor chassi... 
New Linear Parasound Halo JC1+ monoblocks, an even more improved new John Curl design
No smoke screen....just the published numbers. I mean, who cares if it only does 1100 watts into 2 ohms at 1% distortion? Still plenty of power for 95% plus of the high end speakers. The only thing that matters is how it sounds and will it drive a...
