guy at work just gave these to me, he got them from a theater he helped set up the security at, they both work fine, one of them just needs a new fuse...id be interested in knowing the specs on them, but couldnt find anything online...just thought id post them on here to see if anyone knew anything about them.

All I know about that unit is....

Sell in on ebay and get some sucker to buy it.. Place a Krell sticker on it....

lol. i had planned on keeping them to power a couple subs...at one point they were powering the sound system for a theater, so i figure they must output a half decent amount of power

Not if the theater was set up with high efficiency speakers...

*I have no idea how theaters are setup*

hmm...well it was an older theater, not a movie theater mind you, but like one where there are plays and concerts and whatnot. Im assuming the sound was oriented more towards output than it was towards sq.

yea, that little speaker is a monitor....I just got an email back from cinemaccanica. The lady said that they have prepared some drawings (dont have any info on it in electronic format) and they will mail it to me free of charge so we will find out just what these suckers put out

okay...so got my letter from italy...bunch of diagrams/schematics of the layout of the amp...along with rows and rows of voltages and resistances....all the other words are in..italian im assuming....so i cant really make heads or tails of what was sent.... but if someone wants to help me try and figure the diagrams out that would be awesome...for now i just wanna try and figure out how to hook it up to some speakers and just get some sound out of em. i figure ill have to cuz some rcas and splice them onto one of the outputs. Just not sure how to connect power to it or much else....i whipped up something in paint to show the i/o options on the back of the amp

I know that you got them for free, but I wouldn't expect much from them. Unless there is more to the amp section, all I see are two bipolar transistors (and tiny internal heatsinks) - which means that it isn't going to make much power. Good luck with your efforts.

looks like a cool computer case mod.

Fantastic idea. It would make a cool case for a HTPC.
