[PV Audio 5,000+ posts]

i love my kenwood and all, but i hate the spring clips as i can't use the banana plugs that i've been gettin for free //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif (electronics club). my towers would also like a bit more power, as i hooked 'em up to my dad's receiver (150x2) and they sounded lightyears better.

I have the really old version of the Pioneer 110w/ch. reciever and it has been really good for me. Sounds great to me.

either selling it or keeping it for college or swapping it out with my grandfather's integrated amp (running DIY xbox audio...nothing like splinter cell in 2.1 in the dark)

thanx, but we need over 100 per channel. OR, if someone could show me a cheap amp then i'd be indebted

Do you know how little difference there is between 85 and 100WPC //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Lame! You know you want minimum 500wpc.

Better to invest in more efficient speakers than higher powered amps //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

50 watts per channel, unless you're running electrostats, is all you need.

ok well i need sum kinda home audio reciever but i only have $50 so is there any way i can get one for that price if so wat should i look for?

i think ya'll should stop paying so much ****ed attention to power ratings............ I know that you (especially you jack) know that typically those are max ratings @ 1K test tones... blah, blah, blah....... Just buy good quality stuff and it will outperform the lesser quality stuff with the bigger numbers........

IMHO

1500wpc + one-way horns = radness.......
