RE: Need light weight amps to drive Mg 1.7 after loss of Emotiva's

'High Current', is IMO a red herring 'spec'.
Measured for a VERY short time and at a very low output voltage........Not really something your speakers can make use of.

EMO had the PA-1, a 'd' amp based on the B&O ASC module. It was a HIT and now commands over-list used prices!

IMO? If you are DIY inclined? Check ou the HYPEX webside. A Pair of the NC400 modules and a power supply? Depending on case, the weight should be EASY on your back / legs. One per speaker IF they'll biamp, would be perfecto.....

EMO dodged the XPA-1 bullet by going to a SMPS for the new generation AND thereby cutting a lot of weight. No telling how much the Toroid of maybe 1.6KvA or whatver actually weighed.
Shipping damage was KILLING them. I'd ship a pair on a pallet, but nobody went to that trouble IF they had to send 'em back fo repair. An Insurance Nightmare, to be sure.......

I don't know if EMO will part with the Schematic or NOT?
Too much is never enough
