martin logan aerius i and LPA-1

[wadec22]

I just bought a pair of ML Aerius i: www.martinlogan.com/products/aeriusi and reviewed here: www.stereophile.com/content/martinlogan-aerius-loudspeaker-measurements-1998

I plan on using a y adapter to use one channel of my lpa-1 to power the low and one of the high for each speaker. so two channels per speaker basically. passive bi-amping. the aerius I can dip to 1.7ohms at 20khz... is my trusty LPA-1 up to the task?

Sorry for the late response but a call to Emotiva would be your best bet on the best way to conect a speaker that dips that low.

it handles them and a stage center with plenty of headroom.

Great to hear, I purchased a used LPA-1 about 2 months ago and currently use it for my zone speakers and works great for that but wasn't sure how it would be for those big panels lol, it is a great amp especially for the $250 I paid.

wow 250.00 is a steal. I paid 450 for mine several years ago. you can't find anything close to it for the price.

I'm absolutely not surprised.
