Wow, it's like you were watching when I was trying to set it all up. My components have black plastic with raised letters. I'm not sure I'm reading them right with my flashlight. And the amp has numerous connections. My dad had this wire that's like 1/4 inch thick, and I'm not sure I'm getting a good grip on the amp connection. Thank you, all. I've learned a lot and now have my work cut out. I'll turn down the volume and give it another go!

Thanks for the responses. You all are very good at expressing yourselves. I was using a Sony Digital A/V Console Center with HDMI and surround sound. I bought it at least 10 years ago and haven't used it for some time. If there is a pre-amp, it is built into the amp. Hmmm, not sure what to do, but I'd really like to have my arse blown out of the front door at some point soon! John

Hello all, I am trying to hook up my dad's corner horn speakers. He bought them about 30 years ago. I have a 175w amp. When it plays, it sounds good (though I'm no expert), but it doesn't seem very loud on maximum volume. Now, I don't have them pushed back into the corner of the wall. Could that be the problem? Or, is it more likely something in the speakers? Thanks.

No budget. I'm just starting to look into this stuff. Which coast?

That's nice to hear. Send me your email address and I'll send pics. I can't figure out how to attach them in this forum. shawjohn42@gmail.com

Thanks for the input. Happy Thanksgiving.

Hello, I was planning to sell my dad's KHorns and Hereseys, but the more I find out about them, the harder it is to let them go. So I'm going to try them out. I don't know much about power requirements. Would someone please tell me how much power I need? Do I need a different amp for the Hereseys? Is there a site that will answer these kind of questions? Thanks John
