Re: Amp Info

165.87.14.198

I have read several technical analyses about bridging amps. In general, it is true that although the total power goes up for an 8 ohm load, the current draw on the output goes up so that the amp becomes intolerant of lower speaker impedences. I think the current draw for an 8 ohm load is like that of a 4 ohm load and a 4 ohm load would draw equivalent to a 2 ohm load. Also I have a memory of seeing a review of the Apogees saying they are a difficult load for an amp----perhaps the impedance falls to a low value at some range of frequencies even though the dc resistance is nominally 6 ohms over most of the spectrum.
