Hi,
I recently bought a BE-100 as it impressed me too much at the store. While I of course play it with a cabinet, I also like to fire it up at home. Usually that means an either/or scenario where I can play with a cabinet or no sound at all. (Headphones). Over the years I've been experimenting a lot with different loads at home, and not had any problems with my amps so far. I use a Torpedo Live, but use the thru jack, meaning I disconnect the internal load and try different types of loads and let the Torpedo give me a digital signal to my computer where I can compose at night.
I bought a couple of 100W 16Ohms Weber Mass speaker motors at the same time. I built a simple 8 Ohm dummy load by connecting those in parallel. I know there are loads of opinions on this matter, but I feel I get some more top end in the result and slightly less bass. Which is good for me, because I feel most of my attenuators give too much bass and slightly less top end.
My question is if this will cause any problems for the BE-100 amp? I run the gain and master around 4, and occasionally use boosters.
The motors move, and get hot but not concerningly hot, it is mainly the topics about damaging the OT and such that concerns me. (As it is an expensive amp to damage.
)
Kind regards,
Torstein
