acoustat nova twin 200

[Bonne]

Hi guys,

Would an acoustat nova twin 200 be able to drive 1 ohm scintillas?

Regards,

Bonne.

Hi Bonne,

I have no first hand experience, but here is a manual where it is specified at 200 watt/8 Ohm and 325 watt/4 Ohm.

Based on these figures, I would say no.

Hi,
I saw that too. So I was already in doubt. The dealer, who has experience wirh the scintilla, had also his doubts.

Guess I will b braving rhe combinatie summer with the krells

Best regards,

Bonne.

If you want to better these you're looking at pretty serious amps.

Yeah i know. But sometimes i lookout for something less power hungry.

Though i must say this is the best i have heared the scintillas play.
And i have had ksa100, sunfire300x2 hypex encore 400 and ksa250 on them.
Oh and the sphinx project 14 but thouse bluwup often.

Generally an indicator is doubling of power as resistance halves right through to 1 ohm. All these years on Scintillas are a difficult load for even the best of amps, pulling up to 1225w at 1 ohms...

How much does it take expressed in kilowatt hours?

Not looking at prices: Gryphon Mephisto and Apex are specified to 1 Ohm. Pilium Audio has amps claimed to be 1 Ohm stable.
But you can buy a nice car for what they cost.

The kes 100 use about 700 Watts per channel.
So 1400 Watts both. Nice when its already 27 degrees

Hmm nice machines. But costly.
I don't have that kind of money.
Would be nice though.
