RE: HK Citation 16 vs Ashly FTX 2001

Posted by E-Stat on May 7, 2017 at 06:00:51:
Another point of reference is the energy capacity of the power supply. I located the schematics of each.

The Ashly runs 30,000 uF on 80V rails for 96 joules
The Cit16 runs 40,000 uF on 60V rails for 72 joules

Indeed both old and current production series 3 Magnepans are a bit shy on the first octave given their panel area.
