Hello,
To the point.
Past amp had a on hand current rating of 45 amperes. New one was 66 amperes on tap. Noticed the difference imidealty and it was a positive one. I was wowed by the higher current of the amp and how it powered those passive speakers.
So. If company A states 66.0 Amperes of instantaneous current capability and Company B states 45 amps peak per channel.... Does this mean the 45 peak amps are 90 amperes total? or does the amp I have which states 66.0 Amperes mean per channel or to both channels which turns out to be 33 amperes per channel?
Asking because I am trying to determine if a power amplifier that is for sale - the Parasound halo A23+ @ 45 amps peak per channel is more than my Marantz model 50 which states 66.0 amperes but not if its total or per channel. Thinking of buying panels but do not want to waste money on a amp with more rms watts but less current.
Hope this helps. And thank you again for your help. Even sarcastic comments have helped with my learning so say what you want...I have learned so much from my first post to this one.
Cheers and yes I endorse beer.. I love beer.. especially Guinness with some whole buffalo milk mixed in.
