I am also just getting started into the realm of home audio enjoyment. I am a college student on a college budget, but picked up a Technics SU-V98 Integrated Amplifier, a Technics SH-8017 Equalizer, a Technics SL-B200 turntable, two Klipsch SB-3 bookshelf speakers and a Klipsch SC-1 center speaker all for $140.
My question is concerning hooking the speakers up to the amplifier. Specs I found online for the amplifier claim 115 wpc into 8 ohms. The speakers each say impedance 8 ohms and max input power 100 watts.
Is it safe for my speakers and amplifier if I hook these three speakers to the amplifier? I am worried about ruining either the speakers or the amplifier due to misunderstanding of how ohm and watt values work.
Is there a special way that these need to be wired? (series? parallel? I am not sure what these mean).
Help and suggestions much appreciated
