| Is there a such too much power for speakers? There is MORE danger to a speaker from an UNDER powered amplifier than the other way round. This is because an under powered amplifier will CLIP and destroy a speaker if the amp does not have any DC protection circuit. You can obviously destroy ... | |
| confused and don't know what to do Try Anthem MRX series (especially MRX 720 (approx $2500)). Great for music, great for AV/cinema | |
| Smoke on my power amp You may have to send it to New Zealand.... | |
| Smoke on my power amp Not good :-(When you say "speaker wire detached", do you mean BOTH the wires were uplugged from the right terminals or only one ? Is it possible you could have shorted the speaker output ? Typically, the amps should be protected against speaker ... | |

| synergistic research orange blue fuse direction. This is catnip for the superhumans on this thread who claim they can hear a difference :). Keep on spending, good laughing material 😁 | |
| My stereo receiver is a little too bright. Can a cable help me out? Put a capacitor in PARALLEL with the speaker to short out some high frequencies. Make sure it is NON POLAR and can handle about 150 Volts AC. You have to play around with the value to experiment. Typically anywhere between 1 uF to about 10uF wo... | |
| Watts and power Power and hearing perception are logarithmic. Like the earthquake richter scale. A 100 watt amplifier is only twice as loud as a 10 watt amplifier. However higher the power the More relaxed is the output. Also when buying an amp always look at the... | |
| Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference? In fact, go one step further. Enclose all your cables in a vacuum pack. The air around them causes the signal to deteriorate 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000001%. This is a HUGE degradation by audiophools standards. | |
