Hello,
i have a couple of questions someone hopefully can answer.
1. How much Power do i need for a 5.1 Set with 2x 280f, 1x 450c and 2x 250s? The Sw 115 should not count here - right?
- the amp should have at least 80% of the continuous lost for the speakers.
- twice the power of the speakers?
- a little bit more then the speakers?
- or it does not matter at all because klipsch is so efficient?
i heard about everything of these answers.
I bought a Denon x3400H for another set of speakers and i did not like those, so i ended up with the Klipsch set described above and i am not sure if the AVR does it for that.
It has 105W at 8Ohm at 70 efficiency which then should be probably something about 73.5W right? But it has 600W total so actually if you connect a 7.x system it would be 60W per channel -do i understand that correctly?
A Sensitivity level of 98db/watt/m with 73.5 Watt am should give me 116.66 dB or is it 105W then it would be 118.21db?
I just dont understand what the continuous power rating on the speakers has to do with all this!
Is this output somehow lessened by some resistance because they are 150W rated?
If i would buy a Yamaha 3070 with 150WPC then it should only output very little more - 119.76db .
Am i calculating this correctly?
So what is the downside of a less powerful amp?
That it starts to clip at some point?
Is it clipping at a different point with a 100W speaker then for a 150W speaker?
I am assuming the distortion factor is here a factor.
Is it going to be fine if i set my AVR to 0db and go crazy with the volume?
How big is the distortion factor going to be at that level. 0.08% as sated in the manual or higher?
I understand that this is dependent on the input signal.
2. What if i set the AVR to Biamp would that not blow the tweeters very quickly?
Because the AVR does not give me the option to regulate the output on the channels or the crossover.
So i am assuming it is going to pump full power trough the tweeter or is this regulated dynamically by the receiver or internally by the crossover of the speakers?
Sorry i am missing tons of information probably - hope you are patient with me
Thank you very much for your time!
Cheers, Simon
