question on Audiogon listing
« on: 5 Dec 2006, 06:55 pm »
Frank (or anyone else knowledgable),

Can you tell me if this unit will work into a 3-4 load and, if so, what will the maximum power rating be?

thanks in advance!

The original was about 75 watts per channel, it is safe into 4 ohm loads but we would have reservations about two ohm loads (only two output devices per channel in this little Hafler mechanical package.  It was a sweet sounding amplifier.

Frank,

Thanks very much. 

One more question:  from the photo, it looks like the unit is bridgeable.  In bridge mode, would the rated power be any higher into a 4 ohm load or is it, as your note suggests, current-limited to ~75W?

The Hafler bridge mode scheme was defeated when our circuits were installed because it was not good musically.  Call me for more help about this.  651-330-9871.
