Home Amp/Preamp Asylum

Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here.

My guess

is the primary issue is with the speakers. While they have a more linear load than the U-1s, it is consistently lower - especially at the bottom. It stays below 4 ohms until about 200 hz before rising.

Most of my listening in the garage is not at high levels, but I cranked it a bit last night. Long before clipping, the amp's sound gets very unhappy. By contrast, the Stasis doesn't change character at all until clipping. I've had that amp for over thirty years driving Acoustats (initially 2+2s) and it has never failed. I'm putting it back in service today. :)
