Regarding wattage and for what it's worth, I normally don't use more than a few watts per channel, but DO use every bit of my available 7200 watts at @8 ohms in one of my rooms when I want my fix, and before someone makes some condescending comment, I do it because I want to, because I can, and I am not a kid playing club music with the bass playing louder than recorded. I am a 57-year-old woman who listens to music, just like it sounded at the last live concert that I attended, the way the artist intended, and I love every minute of it when I do it, and before some know-it all tells me that I they value their hearing, so do I! By the way I used to teach a hearing conservation class and I can tell you that it's not all about sound pressure levels, it also has to do with duration of exposure and the frequencies one is exposed to. My hearing is perfect, as per my annual audiograms and those around me often wonder how it is that I can hear things that they cannot. So, enjoy your music "your way"!
First Bi Amping Experience
I just puchased a pair of Legacy Signature Se speakers. Am pushing them with my Coda CSIB . I am loving them. Was reading about bi amping for a while. Started looking for a comparable amp to run off my preamp outputs. Was not having much luck finding one in that power range that was in my current budget. Then I thought of how I run my home theater rig with a Crown pro amp. Did a little research and found the Crown XLi series of amps are a Class AB design. I got the biggest one they make and just hooked it up. I know pro equipment gets a bad rap sometimes but this really sounds good.

yesiam_a_pirate I think we're on the same wavelength. Saw Scorpions and Ted Nugent myself more than once! Sometimes It's just not right until it literally rattles your eyeballs and your soul 😉 |
yesiam_a_pirate And the experience only gets better when the current draw of the amplifiers causes all the lights in the house to dim with the beat-lol!😍 |
