Using the amps set to 4 ohm and bridged would be a bigger strain on the capacity of the output devices.  I am currently nurseing one of these beasts back to full health!


I thought there was only one PSU for the pair of amplifiers?
And in any case, separate PSUs don't preclude or favour bridge mode. It doesn't make any difference.

The PSU was probably the most interesting aspect of these amps. A series resonant design. Never seen another like it.

I am sure that the C-audio ones were designed around the ST range (using T03 FET's instead of the plastic K1058, J162) but with a switch mode power supply which was built by another company (came into them ready made / tested).

these amps are a big inspiration to me and I was lucky enough to help build the last ones that left the bss factory. I also modified countless qtys that belonged to brit row that used to come back to bss in their tour racks - I certainly learnt how to use a screw driver removing the front mounts and those lovely rear mounting plates. these buggers also ensured I was pretty fit too! I managed to build my own racks worth out of the remainder parts and a couple of used ones from Heath productions and used these with my TSE111 and TSE118s' in the 90's. unfortunately due to my utter stupid ness at the time these where stolen from me by some scum bag! If I didn't work for bss and c audio at the time this could of been the end of sound system for me. storm have some of these amps that maybe up for sale at a good rate. best regards Dave

Damn it Dave please STOP!!! You will have me searching for the Damn things relentlessly every waking moment! I must spend my time more wisely Like learning to Lay Bricks Apparently

Agreed definitely a "Loss Leader" for them but really think they were trying to capture a market that was very lucrative but alas eluded them

Damn it again Dave too late!!!....Does anyone know of any BSS EPC's up for grabs anything considered even broken, Sick or thoroughly abandoned in a Warehouse Corner somewhere feeling lost and rejected??? Well here at EPC Care we never put a unloved Amp down Your £3 a month will ensure that they have a happier life once again powering stacks of speakers or Flown Arrays they will even Write to you and you will receive a special soft toy and a wallchart when You join Justcall this Premium rate number Operators are waiting to take your call

LMFAOH time for Tea methinks nice one Dave
