wattage

I'm sorry for asking a question that I know has been asked a couple times here before, but I just really want to make sure I'm understanding this correctly. I just picked up a Realistic STA-2100D that sounds absolutely terrible with a couple sets of speakers I have around that are lower...

I know it's probably a bad idea but I want to turn a pair of Acoustic Lab Pro Series 710s into one big speaker cabinet for my bass guitar. My idea was to wire the two systems in parallel and make a big box to boost the bass, but my main issue now is that I don't know the rated wattage of the...

Hi! I was a bit unlucky and broke a resistor in the volume section of the amp (relay based, with the clicks/ticks every time you adjust the volume). Finding out resistance is not a big deal, since it's marked on the PCB, but the lack of service manual makes it hard to predict the correct...

Hello all, long story short I am needing a way to properly produce 16hz, most woofers simply don't seem to be able to respond at that low a frequency. I plan to purchase a low frequency transducer and either mount it to a stud in my house or to the raised floor and power it off of a d150a II...

I just got my first ever pair of really quality speakers. (Well, by my standards - I’m sure some folks on here are familiar with some super high end stuff.) I got a pair of McIntosh ML-10Cs. The hifi restore/repair expert I bought them from said that I should beware of clipping given the...

I have an old Sherwood S-2640 CP receiver given to me by a friend. I could not see the watt per channel at the back of it, but after some research I discovered it's 25w/c. I haven't yet completed my audio setup so I need speakers and I was looking at the Monitor Audio Bronze 2 but the specs say...

I picked up an HK 330B that I LOVE. I'm running my KHL Model sixes thru it and it sounds great. After some different reading on the net here and their, I got worried thinking maybe that I'm underpowering the speakers and causing damage... Anybody's thoughts on this? Is a Harmon Kardon 330...

Have a pioneer sx770 (15w per channel output). Wondering if it is OK to run speakers recommended 20w or above (Polk audio monitor II). Thanks

While I'm waiting to get new drivers for my EPI's, I've been using a cair of bookshelf Pinnacles. While they sound pretty decent, they are way too efficient. I can't turn my volume up more than a quarter of the way and the signal rarely even registers on my VU metres. As such, I'm wondering two...

Hey all, I have a pair of very clean Klipsch Quartets. Their sensitivity is 97.5 dB SPL @ 1 watt. I run this with a restored Marantz 2230. They sound very nice. I know people sometimes gripe about the Klipsch sound with harsher amps (some solid state models and can be best paired with low...

Hiya Audiokarma, I have recently gotten into playing Vinyls and have purchased a turntable. I ended up going with the Audio-Technica lp120usb. I know newer tt's get a hard time here but bare with me. It already has a preamp (which I'll replace later for a nicer one), and right now I'm trying...
