Re: Another big bad ass amp comes to Suncoast Audio
It won’t turn on without 240v/30amp. Can use a standard 240v 3 pin connector, but Boulder strongly suggests we use: Originally Posted by mep

Oh, hell ya!! Not many dealers have this level of gear on hand, well done! I have often wondered about a 3060 as an upgrade from my 2150s, let us know how it sounds when you get it fired up and broken in.

Re: Another big bad ass amp comes to Suncoast Audio
I cant speak for the 3060, but my 2150s don't get super hot. They are class A, but dynamically adjust the bias current to match output levels. Originally Posted by Mr Peabody
The differentially balanced 2150 is said to be class-A biased to its full claimed continuous power output—1000W into 8, 4, or 2 ohms—by means of a circuit that continually adjusts the bias current based on voltage output, current draw, and load. Boulder claims that this operation is performed more quickly than the speed of the audio signal itself, which means that the circuit can maintain class-A operation when confronted with a taxing musical transient, after which it gently lowers the bias until it senses another peak (footnote 1). The 2150 can thus provide the positives of full class-A operation that's free of crossover distortion, without the negatives of massive power consumption, excessive generation of heat, or, Boulder claims, the audible "steps" produced by other kinds of active bias-management systems.
Footnote 1: Unlike an amplifier with a traditional class-A output stage, the Boulder 2150 runs relatively cool.—John Atkinson

Re: Another big bad ass amp comes to Suncoast Audio
This is why I think we in Oz (and other similar countries) are better off because we have 230V or 240V standard supply voltage. Same power draws less amps than in 110V countries. What's next? Dedicated three phase power supply to amps?

Re: Another big bad ass amp comes to Suncoast Audio
I already got one.
It does not get hot. As I recall, it should be pretty good right away, after a few days it will be up to speed and crush everything else in the store. You think Block amps will hang with it? Ha ha ha.
900 watts per channel Class A into 8 ohms. My speakers are four tower, 20 driver, 88 db power hungry YG XVi, the 3060 drives them effortlessly no matter what music is played.
