    EC AW220 (AW70) purchase question

    I got an answer to my query from EC's Stian Langvik. He wrote, "I don’t have any experience on your speakers, but if they don’t fall below 4,5 ohms, there shouldn’t be any problems running the AW 220 in bridge mode. The AW 70 is the same as the AW 220, so you safely combine one AW 70 and one AW...

    EC AW220 (AW70) purchase question

    Good point. As an example (and I'm not complaining), my job for the last 12 years was just outsourced to India. I was working for the French consulting company Cap Gemini. They had no pension plan. While they did provide partial matching funds to a special type of retirement account I had set...

    EC AW220 (AW70) purchase question

    The current sales tax in New Jersey was recently raised to 7%. In New York City it's 8.25 %. In some states it verges close to 0%. There is no national sales tax. Most commerce is regulated by the states. Sales taxes and income taxes seem to be lower in the US than in many countries in Europe. I...

    EC AW220 (AW70) purchase question

    As expensive as EC equipment is in Norway, its probably twice as costly here in the states. The current list price of the EMC here is $5600 or around 7100 Euros. Dealer discounts are not much more than 10% -15% on this type of gear assuming you can get even that. I'm guessing it can be purchased...

    Thanks to all for their responses so far. This looks like a great forum. I hope to be able to teach myself some Norwegian so I can participate fully. By the way, the EMC 1 UP has gotten rave reviews around the world as one of the great CD players. The current model has been around for quite a...

    EC AW220 (AW70) purchase question

    Thanks for the response. The amps I'm talking about are the AW70 and AW220 which I believe are identical. ECs literature indicates that these amps when bridged should not be used in a load of less than 4 ohms. Were you refering to the AW120 amp? Regards, Mark

    EC AW220 (AW70) purchase question

    Thanks for the additional responses. You've confirmed my concerns. The engineer at the US distributor indicates I should try using them both in mono mode anyway. He said the protective circuit will shut them down before any damage is done to the amps, and depending on the actual load, and hard...

    EC AW220 (AW70) purchase question

    First, thank you both for the welcome to this forum. I wish I was able to speak with you in your own language, but thanks to you as well as any future posters for your patience by responding in English. I have joined this forum primarily because it is Norwegian, and I believe it's the best...

    EC AW220 (AW70) purchase question

    Hello, I'm sorry if I already posted this. I couldn't find it on the forum I live in the US in New Jersey, and don't speak your language. I know at least some of the posters on this forum speak English, and I was hoping someone could help me with an Electrocompaniet purchase decision...
