Post Subject: No tubes SL600sPosted by manisandher on: 11/5/2009

No, I wouldn't dream of driving my SL600s with the Berning. My understanding is that with their low sensitivity and lowish impedance, the SL600s need current. The Rotel is capable of delivering 150A into 0.1R (for short 10 microsec bursts), and seems to drive them very well. (I picked up an absolute mint condition RHB-10 for around $1200.)

I will be using the Berning to drive a pair of Zu Druids >150Hz or so, which I'm hoping to set up in the next few weeks. But I can't help thinking that I'll go for DSET and 3-way horns >150Hz eventually... Having moved into a new house, I now feel I have the room for this.

Mani.
