Le Amp (any)

I'm looking for an amp to drive subwoofers. I want ~300W, reasonably low distortion, and no roll off (until 8Hz or less.) +/-1 db down to 8Hz is fine.

Anyone know if Le Amp has these sorts of numbers? The price looks right but I can find no specs on them.

No, not 300 watts.

vmps now has a reasonably priced sub amp as far as these things go, but I'm not entirely sure of its power output. And it's far from certain that flat to 8hz is generally doable or necessary.

LeAmp (aka IRD MB-100) is a 100 watt amplifier.  It would be fine w/ a very efficient sub at low volumes, but a better option would be something like this:

Hard to beat for the money in my opinion.

I'm looking for an amp that's flat to very low frequencies. I know that subs themselves are rarely flat to 20Hz or below, but having the amp roll off too, just makes things worse. Plus, an amp that can dish out power at 5Hz can be used to drive tactile transducers - an amp that's already -3db at 15Hz isn't likely to have much left at 8Hz.

Looks like nOrh doesn't publish frequency response graphs. I'll keep hunting, thanks.
