In any case Quad, warns not to use amps have no VI limiting with their ESLs.

**An ME550-II then. MUCH more polite. 27 VRMS, 500VA transformer,
120,000uF and 40 Amps of PEAK current. Easier to freight too. Only 16kg.

All ME amps are current limited.


** Really ?

VI limiting is another matter - intended to prevent output stage failure under
adverse loads including short circuits.
Means the short circuit I max is no more than half the I max into a few ohm
resistor - often more like one quarter.
