Think you'll find they were not made for Ohm, but just rebranded Soundstandard amps, just like the Darq series.

UK has a long history of importing cheap chinese gear, rebranding it, and selling it for 4x times original price.

While others here cry foul of Chinese products..

Define ‘good limiting’ for me?

Did the user actually measure the RMS voltage or current required to cause heat buildup in the magnet or coil of the driver once in the box and set the limiter to that value? Or did they just take the AES rating and stick it in a calculator?



Cant remember how the limiter was set, but the amp was kept below clip.

The people who do like you suggest most probably use other amps. Cant see proline amps in professional rigs


Below clip is still capable of being way too much RMS power for even the beefiest 21” coil when the power supply can deliver the current continuously.

Coil heating can occur at approx 400W long term power for day a B&C 18SW115 in a tapped horn where forced air cooling is BETTER than a folded horn or scoop, let alone a box with lower airflow. Part of this is proper filter design as well, so is ensuring cone movement and impedance is balanced between sound quality and efficiency (low excursion) and cooling (high excursion) especially based on the intended source material and crest factor of the music.

RMS limit for many dual 18” folded horns where the driver magnet sits in the horn path can be as low as 50v.

This is not a myth and is well documented by the driver manufacturers own Klippel data.

I fully appreciate that lev, my point was OHM don't tend to put their name on shite so they could be good, no Chinese hating here, life would be shockingly expensive without them Smile
