Just curious, besides Carvin, what are some bass heads that have high power ratings at 8 ohms? Are there any that can output the same power at 2, 4, and 8? I'm talking about 550W+. |

I'm talking about 550W+. | A tube amp equipped with 2-, 4-, and 8-Ohm taps will usually put out comparable wattage into each impedance. However, I've never heard of an affordable tube amp capable of producing 550W. |

Amps will always be able to push more power into lower impedence, it's the nature of the beast (or physics if you want be accurate).

It is usually the power-supply and not the amplifier itself that limits maximum power into 4 and 2 ohm loads.
