Title: CI Audio D.500 MKII Load questions
Post by: Kreepin on 31 Jan 2024, 06:12 pm

Hi all,
I have an opportunity to pick up the D.500 MKII monoblocks and my concern is can they withstand a 2 ohm load. I am running Apogee Duetta Signatures and they tend to dip down in the 2 ohm range. Appreciate any info and help.

I've never tried it but Stereophile measurements show an impedance above 4 ohms for the Duetta 2, which is the recommended minimum impedance for D-500.
I don't know if the Signatures are different.

Interesting read and not what many have told me, I'm going to find my meter and see what I get.
On another note, would you happen to have any of the newer laser engraved front panels laying around that you want to part with 😁
