Cary SLP-98L or ARC LS-26?

Hate to tell you, but they are incorrect. The AVERAGE impedance maybe 400 ohms, but as JA notes- this is much much higher at areas over the frequency curve. It will lead to lean bass, specifically. You can see the drop off in the chart, plain as day.

Cary needs to partnered with higher input impedance SS amps such as Krell for example. A 400cx w/ Cary SLP98 is quite a nice rig on the cheap these days.

ps. I wanted to run a SLP-05 on my old Pass X250.5, hence my loads of research on the subject.

I'm just sharing information that I received from both Cary and Pass. As I decided on Bryston amps instead, for unrelated reasons, this is only of academic interest to me. Cary's Head Engineer might be interested in seeing your research on the subject, however.
