    Before sending him the amp I tested it and listened it too and I'm still alive ....

    With a 1000 Euro you can have one from ALLBA in Sweden! Get in touch with them and I will manage modifying one PSS1200 for an audiophile use with their next order...

    I drive my 4355 with a PSS600 and it is dam powerful.

    You can ask ALLBA to lend you a regular PSS1200 and it will give you an idea.

    Beside several settings the next batch of 1200 will receive twice more mains capacitors and as they are from an other brand their sound better, more low mids, better stereophonic image etc ... This is what I call a hand modified amplifier for audiophile use.

    About dynamics, a PSS 1200 has 2 transformers of 800Va and 2x40 000MF (20A per side).

    Just compare with other amplifiers and you will have an idea of the peaks a PSS1200 can deliver!

    My 4355 are driven full range with a PSS600 (this amplifier has 2x60 000MF of mains caps instead of 2x40 000MF)!

    Yeah allright G, go ahead, and laugh your ass off!

    It would take at least a Crest 9001 to even knock me on my ass!

    Did I ever tell you about the time I played electrician? And I thought I had the load side wire in my hand and it was the line side, and I put it to the lug with another wire, and BOOM, the whole lug burnt to a crisp and all I saw was this bright blue flash! Well, I am still here and I really did that years ago!

    When the REAL electrician arrived to actually fix the problem, he informed me that what I did was to put one 120v leg to another 120v leg, and you cant put to different phases of 120v legs together, nope you CANT do it! I found out, too, the hard way, as always!

    Um, I'm not the one who started numerous threads about some amp and a dash for the border with it. I simply found Figge's posts to be quite funny and decided to ride with it all. In reality I couldn't care less about the amp or what anyone does with it.

    Hello Figge,
    I play my 250tis fullrange with one crown reference 2.
    In my opinion, the sound is also not bad in mid/highrange, very clean
    but with your 4430 (Horn) its maybe little to dry.
    You can go Biamp, and check a Tubeamp for your 2344

    Hi Figge,

    I am not 100% sure.....but I think the 1400CSL's got a switching power supply......I personaly prefer transformers. Amps with transformers are more expensive, but I like their sound a lot more.

    PS: pls don't forget the 2310 in sverige.....keep an eye on them
