Is Aleph 2 unstable < 6 Ohm??? - Click HERE for Original Thread
Thago
I'm currently building a set of Aleph 2 monoblocs (the first is almost 50% ready;) ). This week I spoke to a friend hifi-enthusiastic, who stated that the Aleph 2 design is unstable (oscillating) below 6 Ohm loads. Is this right :att'n: ?

No, the Alephs are stable into any known load - they simply don't
deliver more power.

:cool:

Speaking as one who has run various Alephs and variants into loads as low as 2 Ohms, I can say unequivocally that Alephs are pretty tough beasts. If there's an unstable one out there, I'm pretty sure you'll find one or both of the following:
1) It's a DIY effort (possibly poorly constructed)
2) It's been modified in some manner
As rumors go, this rates right alongside the possibility that the moon is made of green cheese.

Hello Mr. Pass, I'm delighted to be assured directly by you on this topic. My friend is probably just jealous that I will have in a while a couple of wonderfull Aleph 2's :mad:
The building process until now has been a real joy to me, I can't wait to hear them play. Thank you very much for making this possible :cheerful:

Well, it probably is unstable when you put in a half-width rack ;)
