If you set your high pass filter wrong, you could do damage. You have to know the output impedance of your amp....you then have to figure out the correct settings. A great person to talk to is John at Audio Connection.
Vandersteen 5a - Setup help needed
Hello,
First of all let me apologize for my English as its not my first language and if something does not make sense, please let me know.
I recently heard pair of Vandersteen 5a playing Pink Floyd and was stunned by the sound. System was driven by Sound Research preamp/amp - not sure about specifics. By pure coincidence I was on vacation in Florida and found a pair for SALE! I pulled the trigger without even thinking how it will work for me.
Here I am and have no idea how to make it work with what I have:
Arcam AVR850
MCintosh MA250 integrated amp
Cambridge Audio 851n
I tried reaching out to local dealer and Vandersteen and was told its not possible due to crossover situation. However Arcam Avr850 does have a preamp out and ability to connect power amp. I tried tech support and nothing so far...any help will be much appreciated. If what i have is not in any way compatible....what would be a budget configuration I could use?
Thank you
