Hi there Zoo. Stay out of the attic--please. I run a 48 tube home theater set up.Honestly.What I did was; I would get a better amp,and move it down the food chain till I had 3.Started with a Fosgate 4100(crap) Not sure what other amps you're contemplating but-- how efficient are the speakers?To sub or not? I would sug.a GOOD stand alone proc.as well.Oh,that moving down the food chain;did that w/ ics and spk,cables as well.AQ diamond/2 and tera labs spk.wires.You can do it a piece at a time;I did. Almost every thing you do will add over the amps within the reciever.you can mix and match till you get there.Fronts first center next rears last.If your center speaker isn't bi wireable(mine is) just use 1/2 of the amp.
HELP ME add tube amp to my HomeTheatre
I recently purchased a 2-channel tube amp rated at 60wpc. I would like to use this for my mains, as I use my setup for music 90%, home theatre 10%. HT receiver is a Yamaha 995 which has preamp outs for all 5 amplified channels. Should I simply go out the main preamp outs and into the inputs on the tube amp and use this as main amps for music and HT? Any considerations I should review? Also, any suggestions on the cables to use from preouts to amp in? I'm a "newbie", so any input would be appreciated. Thanks...Steve.
