Hi Arny,

Have you had a chance to think about it?

Thanks

Hi,

I wanted to borrow some of your knowledge/experience. I'm looking at
some proamp options for a multiamped hometheater system. One of the
amps I will require is for a set of 72" ribbons that measure cleanly
at 6 ohms; i.e. no dips, basically a resistive load. Accordingly in
this area I'm looking for an amp that is very clean in frequency
response and stable down to 4 ohms. One amp I'm looking at (because
it can be had cheap) is a Samson F1200. It can be found really cheap
in the used market, it is rated to down to 4 ohms and will produce
400/ch at 8 ohms (about the power range I'm looking for). Now, even
though I'm looking for cheap, this should not be construed as my not
being willing to pay what is required for a good amp. I just do not
feel the need to pay _more_ than more needs require in this area. Now
the ribbon is crossed over to a line array of Seas drivers at 225 Hz,
so needless to state the amp will be dealing with most of the midrange
and all of the treble. I will not sacrifice these areas for the sake
of saving money, but then again, I don't intend to throw money away
;-)

As a side note, I had not visited rao in a long time, did not realize
what wasteland it had become. Some of the reactions make Zip (may he
rest in peace, just found out) seem like he was a master diplomat.

Thanks
