you lucky lucky guy

those are top of my dream list

tariff impact?

@agencal , congratulations! That is a killer speaker.

The S202 will absolutely drive them, but the S500 performs on altogether another level. Those speakers are hard to drive and the S202 won’t deliver the very best results. The S500 however will take complete control and provide the maximum performance possible. As stated above, for my home system, this is OK. But if I were putting together a dream system, it would have to include the 500 series amps. I hope that helps. Feel free to ask further questions if you have them. We are here to help.

Thank you Daniel but you still did not give a clue about the power output of amps’ 2ohm and 1 ohm :)) But i will sure order s500 if you say so :folded_hands:t2:

Hi Ahmed,

I have 2 M500s in my system driving Magico M6s. They are nominally 4 Ohm speakers with a spec’d 20 Hz low end response.

However, the measured response in my room is flat to 10 Hz! I think that is the result of Magico being conservative in the response spec’ and the M500s never giving up on pushing the speaker to match the input signal.

The S202, M205, S500 and M500 will drive a short circuit (zero ohms) without complaint, they won’t be damaged or have any bad electrical behavior. Of course the output power will be “zero” when driving a short. However the S500 and M500 are much “happier” driving very low impedances (under 2 ohms), they will have much higher output power and much lower distortion.
