Marantz 1050 1030

Hello I’m new popped on over from the Lansing Heritage site for a little fun here.

What amplifies power rating compared to my JBL Control 5, well I’m using some rather old Marantz 1050 for left center right and sub bass JBL 4645 with a third Marantz 1030 driving the JBL control 1 and a Pioneer VSP-200 for centre back and height surround.

I noticed the level of the mix and due to some part of its structure of the mix was just too bright after giving it some EQ treatment it was tamed but still a bit loud in parts. I tend to listen to a lot film mixes and thou my Marantz amplifiers are old there still running. So there it is.

The specs on the Marantz 1050 I belaive are around 60watts into 4Ω and 1030 is around 40watts into 4Ω I can only go with what was told around 18 years or so ago. If anyone’s got more details on the Marantz 1050 and 1030 amp specifications I’d be glad to hear about it.

Thanks.
 
Both my MX-1 and MX-1000 are rated at 260W rms and are hooked to NS-1000x and M which are rated for 100W rms.
 
My amp has double the output capability comparted to the input of my speakers.

this is good though. I can max out my speakers without hammering them with THD.
 
Running two Carver M1.0t's
Bridged - rated at 1000 watts per
Infinity RS4b's
Rated at 150 watts
 
Main system speakers: Klipsch RF-7: 250 WPC

Main system Amp: AMC 2030s: 30 WPC

Just a bit over 8%.
 
Front Room:

Front Speakers (N803'S) rated at 200 WPC
Fed by Rotel 1080, rated at 200 WPC.

After figuring the sine of the integral of the hypotenuse divided by the square of the natural log of Pi...I believe that works out to somewhere around 100%

Rear speakers and center (N805's and HTM2's, respectively) rated at (I think) 120 WPC; fed by a 6-channel Rotel RSP1066 bridged to 3 channels at 160 WPC: 133%

Spare systems:

1st pair of PR#R speakers ( 80 WPC) fed by Sansui AU919 (110 WPC): 138%

2nd pair of PR#R speakers (see above) fed by Sansui AU9500 (80 WPC): 100%

BUT: Above Sansui tested at 100 WPC. So according to actual figures, 125%
(As also shown out by numerous blown tweeter fuses during college years. :rockon: )
