Hi,
I am interested in building an amp to drive some Celestion Ditton 66 speakers, specs below.
I have priced the ncore 400 modules along with the SMPS 600 but the price to make a stereo amp (2xmodules, 2 x SMPS) is 1222 euros and a bit beyond my budget.
I know that the UcD modules have been in existence for a long time now but I read that they have been continually upgrading the UcD modules with nCore technology, I have built my own Valve amplifiers in the past and I would like to know how the UcD modules will compare? And are they new and improved versions of the old UcD modules?
Or, is there anything of similar build / sound quality that i could use to drive the celestion Dittons? My budget would be more in the region of 700 euros ($800) and I will be placing all modules and supplies into one case which I will make myself,
Thanks in advance
SPECS:
* 18 Hz to 40 kHz -
* 102 dB S.P.L. output
* 4 - 8 Ohms impedance
* THD below 0.7%
* Recommended Amplifier: 10 Watts to 160 Watts RMS
* Nominal input: 80 watts; peak load: 150 Watts
* Driver Complement:
- HF2000 Dome Tweeter (specified by the B.B.C. for monitor use)
- MD500 Dome Mid-range
- FC12 Bass (12")
- Passive A.B.R (12")
* All drivers made by Celestion in England
* Cabinet Dimensions 40" x 15" x 11.5" = 100 x 38 x 29 cm
