Hello!
First post here, here it goes;
BoXem Audio, Audiophonics, Apollon Audio, or Nord don't have any 4 ohm minimum impedance limits in their recent/upcoming Hypex-, or Purifi-based products? Their upcoming amplifiers based on the Hypex release that this thread is about would be free of such a limitation?
Asking this, as I have Apogee Diva speakers being restored for me. While the Divas are not the worst offenders when it comes to low impedance, the original pair had a nominal impedance of 3 ohm. The restored pair might have a higher figure (?), but as I won't get the speakers until sometime next spring I can't test anything yet, just sorting out different options where to go with the amplification.
My current amp is NAD C399, but NAD told me that
Apogee Diva has a nominal impedance of 3 Ohms, which is not going to operate properly with any NAD amplifier as their impedance is well below our 4 Ohm minimum impedance limit...we recommend using a 4-ohm impedance as this is the intended specs of all NAD amplifiers.
Is NAD being careful here, or do their amps have a minimum impedance limit at 4 ohm, or am I missing something here?
Thanks!
