"low impedance" meaning less than 4 ohms? I don't know how to characterize the combined M/T portion of the Tympani IV-A. IIRC their ribbon tweeters alone are 3 ohms. Before buying the Brystons I presently use, I had zero difficulty driving the entire speaker, M/T plus their bass panels using the bridged Adcom GFA-555 (original release, assembled in NJ). Back in the day, ~25 years ago I admittedly was a loudness freak. Nothing bothered the bridged Adcoms, the Tympani, me, or caused blown fuses, not even the (original) CD release of Telarc's 1812 cannons. (Before using IV-As I had Tympani 1Cs and I did set one GFA-555 on fire going up with a flame and smoke, appropriately by the 1812 cannons, however my loudness days are long gone, but something in me misses them. OTOH I have always enjoyed listening to Beethoven's chamber music and continue to do so.)

"IotaVX stack in Bridge mode. 50W (8Ω, 2 channels), 100W (8Ω, 1 channel bridged)100W (4Ω, 2 channels), 180W (4Ω, 1 channel bridged)"
