Hello everyone!
I've got a pair of B460 clones and am in need of an amplifier to drive them. I had two Crown K1's bridged, but they're both dead now. (The one started adding noise and the other still works, but at reduced output? ) I'm thinking I need at least 600 watts, but would love to find something in the 800 watt or better club. Also under advisement that the K1's weren't ideal, not actually high current. That a proper amp rated at 600 watts or so could do the same job if not better. I say that because I was thinking of having the K1's repaired or purchasing two K2's. I was very happy with the K series until they started to fail me, spectacular on sub duty and the system was producing the best and most enjoyable bass I've ever experienced.. I thought and was hoping I wouldn't need the power of a K1 bridged, but with the BX63A in place I occasionally saw clip lights on them. Looks like I'm a bit of an SPL junkie after all..
Anyway, what would you fine folks recommend I drive my 2245H's with? Even though I saw Amir's review on an Emotiva XPA-DR2 (here: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/f...plifier.25067/) and it's distortion "spray" I'm still thinking it could be a viable solution? 550 watts a side and no fan.... What about the Crown XTI series? Thinking a 6002 looks good on paper. Came across a thread somewhere else where a fella used a 4002 bridged to run a single 2245H. Isn't bridging a bad idea in general though?
Thank you for your time,
Derek
