Paralleling channels of a First Watt J2 poweramp

Amp/Preamp Asylum

Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here.

I'm the proud owner of two First Watt J2 poweramps. These are built with ALL JFETS and are rated at 30WPC into 8 and 15WPC into 4.

Nelson Pass says the channels are parallelable, with the max.-power rating becoming, per chassis, 30 into 8 and 60 into 4. I'm currently using only one channel in each amp, driving rather-sensitive (97dB) Serenity Super-7s. I don't NEED more power, but if the sound quality is likely to improve, I'll wire them into mono.

What think you? This inquiring mind wants to know. :-)

Paralleling does NOT mean bridging. Paralleling means wiring the 2 channels in parallel. - jeffreybehr 21:53:45 11/2/14 (3)
