WTB in Oz: 150-200 watt stereo power amp

otto88 · 18th December 2007, 09:51 AM

Wanted to buy in Oz

150-200 watt stereo power amp, to drive Peerless CSX 10"s up to 250-500 Hz.
bass quality important, mids & treble not important, mid-fi ok.

Thanks,
Richard

Richard,

What sort of price range are you looking for? Have you considered possible using 2 'subwoofer' plate amps for this instead?

P.S. Welcome back to diyAudio!

Thank you! . . been a while )courtesy of diyAudio not liking my new gmail address . .)

It’s for a two way active, crossed 250-500 Hz

I didn’t hear anything, so I’ll probably use a 5 * 140 wpc Marantz HT amp I have. The power should be enough for the bass, not sure about the SQ for >250~500 Hz . .

Few plate amps will cross above 150 Hz, and I want to run the CSX 10"s up to c 300 Hz. The newer Reckhorn A-400’s I was told can cross at 300 Hz, but its c $US 260 . .

Cheers

There's a Yamah 4500 on ebay in NSW (300183039109) which might meet your needs. And might not go too high (I'm guessing about $300-400).

It was appealing, but its's local pickup only from Old Toongabbie in North West Sydney

Will keep an eye out, but if you see any, happy to hear . .
