OT: anyone know of a good high-current audio amp? [message #72262]

I have an older pair of Acoustat speakers (electrostatics) that I simply
cannot find a replacement for. They sound fabulous, even after twenty-odd
years.

However, they present a challenge to the amplifier driving them: at some
frequencies, their impedance is as low as 1 ohm. That can mean serious
current flowing.

My current power amp is a PS-Audio, and even though it still sounds good,
the older electrolytic capacitors are starting to fail (they dry up). I have
had a few replaced already, but it's just a matter of time before the poor
thing fails altogether.

Anyone know of a decent (but not outrageously expensive) audio power amp? A
stereo unit would be best, but I can live with two mono ones. Would also
consider an integrated amp that can handle this low impedance (PS-Audio used
to make a fine integrated as well).

I figured I'd check with this bunch of audio-inclined folks first... thanks
for any input.

Daniel
