Hi everyone,
Just want some thoughts on the following:
I have a pair of Mark & Daniel Maximus Rubies: They are a very difficult load!!! Sens 81.5 and impedance 6 - 3 Ohms. They need a very muscular amp with loads of current to drive them to a degree that justifies why you bought them. I tried class D amp, but it just does not cut it. What it requires is 200W/c in 8, which doubles to 400 in 4 and probably still doubles into 2. (And if you haven't looked before this does not come cheap)
The question is: do I spend twice as much as it cost for a power amp, or do I just try and sell them second hand, and go for different speakers?
Your opinion will be appreciated!
Thanks Danie
