Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: few valve amps have a 4 ohm tap, and I'd want a 2 ohm tap for that big Duntech.

It has been said the power supply is the amp. What we think of as the amp is a complex electronic 'valve' to control the release of the energy stored in the power supply. If the power supply wimps out(especially on massive peaks) it doesn't matter how good the 'valve' is. Standard measurements don't really stress the power supply the way some sounds do. It's interesting that the British call a tube a valve, a much more descriptive term.
