[jflail2]

Congrats! Feels good eh? I just made an upgrade as well; good thing its a 3 day weekend coming up!!

Enjoy having that sub; I can't use one for the time being :/

[98thumpin]

i did have a question though? i currently just have the two monitor 70's in the front r and L. but im going to buy the rears and center as time goes by. im wanting to run the fronts with a seperate power amp in the 200wpc range, the max i can push is 275wpc in the fronts. do you have any suggestions for a 2 channel power amp or is it ok to use any power amp? my reciever a denon avr-1907 has preouts for all 7 channels. i can run a seperate amp for each channel if i wanted to. but im trying to keep cost down to the minimum. thanks for your help

Power up the General to 'em. Just don't let it take them on any serious jumps or anything.

On a serious note, those things look great! I hope you enjoy them(I don't really see why you wouldn't). Unfortunately I don't know enough about a lot of this to answer your question, but someone on here assuredly will.

Congrats man!

[Sherardp]

Setup looks great, hey how much for the General Lee. Nice......

Hook whatever amp you want to them. They'll be in more danger if you underpower them because then you're more likely to clip the amp. Most people only use a few watts when they're listening to music anyways. If you get a really beefy amp just take it easy and know the limits (hopefully before you hit them).

yeah what he said, I'm sending 200W to my csi3 and it says :Recommended Amplifier Power 20-180 w/channel . I have no issues what so ever with more juice

well the reccomended for these speakers goes to 275 watts. so i was thinking 200 watts per channel for the big monitors. any good brand in the 2 - 300 dollar range? i want a amp that makes 200 wpc rms clean power

[98thumpin]

sorry the lee is not for sale

[hearingimpared]

Dude it is all good Brother. . . enjoy it while it lasts. . .muuuuhhhaaaaaa!!!!

if you are looking for 200wpc.. you'll need more money than that. :eek:

[98thumpin]

around how much more money

[VR3]

You can get the GFA-555 in the 3-4 range.

[98thumpin]

i dont know much about gfa amps they any good

[danger boy]

i dont know much about gfa amps they any good


they are Adcom GFA series of amps... the one Sid is talking about it a big beefy Adcom GFA 555 older amp, but very powerful. it would serve your needs.

[hearingimpared]

I have a modded Adcom GFA-565 mono blocks, 300wpc, they are awesome. You should also be able to get NAD 2200s or 2200 PEs in the $200 to $400 range those baby's are conservatively rated at 100 wpc but delivers double that and more. . .there is one being sold here on epay. (http://cgi.ebay.com/NAD-2200-PE-400w-Amp-excellent-cond-Free-Shipping_W0QQitemZ250083936211QQihZ015QQcategoryZ3 9783QQcmdZViewItem)

Edit you better hurry on that one there is only five minutes left and it is currently at $238.

[98thumpin]

well thanks for the info but i will have to wait a while on an doing my amp just doing my homework right now. why do companies underrate there amps like that

[danger boy]

the good companies don't underrate their amps.. the bad companies overrate their's. ;) :eek:

[michael_w]

It's not so much that they're underrated but that others are so overrated. A ton of low budget receivers claim xxx amount of watts per channel, but in a real life situation they don't put out nearly what they claim. Also remember that it's about quality over quantity too.

[98thumpin]

so a good amp at rated at 100 wpc will put out more power than a cheap 200 wpc amp is that what your saying

[hearingimpared]

Could very well be. I used the wrong terms to describe how NAD's specs their amps a more proper term would be they conservatively rate their amplifiers. Their 2200s are conservatively rated at 100 wpc, they easily produce a lot more.

[98thumpin]

oh ok thanks for clearing that up

[98thumpin]

well boys my dps 12 just came i just signed for it

[98thumpin]

why does my dps 12 have speaker level inputs on the back of it

[98thumpin]

the weird thing is there is no signal coming from my sub out on the reciever. so im having to run the sub on the front channel preouts to get signal to the subwoofer.

[98thumpin]

well i just bought a nakamichi BX-100 tape deck, and a yamaha eq just to have one the 70's sound great and right now there only being pushed 85 watts but i do have them bi wired

[98thumpin]

i have yet to buy my center channel and rear speakers can any body make a good recomendation for a set of speaks that will compliment my polk monitor 70's
