Default ESL57 - a difficult load?


"Eiron" wrote in message
...

I rescued a Rotel RA930AX amp from the junk shop.
The manual says:
"Do not use speakers that have a very high capacitive load,
say over 0.1 microfarads, as it may cause a damage to the
power amplifier section."

So I shan't be connecting it to my ESLs.
Any idea what would happen?


**Actually, you're likely to experience fewer problems with the Rotel, than
with most other amps. I am a Rotel service agent and part of the testing
procedure I use on ALL amps (except Naim of course) is to connect a 1uF cap
across the load, to check for instability issues. Rotels do not exhibit
problems.
