How many volts can Devialet drive?

[Jwg1749]

Hi, I've never seen published info on Devialet output voltages but surely more important questions would be "do I like the sound of the Devialet - Martin Logan combination, does it go loud enough for me and do I prefer the sound to that of the ESL amp"

There are several Martin Logan users on here and I haven't seen any complaints about lack of power or distortion (harshness) at high frequencies which you would typically get if an amp was not capable of driving the low impedence load. Devialet say their amps are suitable for loads down to 2 ohms though I see that a Montis drops as low as 0.52 ohms at 20 kHz

That's exactly my point PhilP!

I'm one of those happy Devialet-Martin Logan combo owners, but my ML is the Electromotion ESL which only drops to 1.6 ohms @ 20khz (close to the 2 ohms rating of Devialet) contrary to the Montis which drops to 0.5 ohms @ 20khz.

And the reason why I ask is that I'm seriously considering the Montis as my next upgrade

I think it's a reasonable line of enquiry. The question then is how to interpret the information ...

Anyway, on Tuesday the Magtech power amp should arrive here. By Thursday I should have a view on how it stacks up against both a 200 and 400.
