Vivek Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I have got a new Yamaha RN 602 network amp. Would like to pair Klipsch 260 F floor standing speakers for stereo music only. Can this amp drive these speakers. Amp specs Min RMS 80 + 80 watts per ch @ 8 ohms Max power 115 watts per ch @ 8 ohms High Dynamic power 105 watts per ch @ 8 ohms I don't know much about amp speaker matching so kindly help with your comments. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Vivek, Welcome to the forum. Lab Fig. 1. Yamaha R-N602 - Frequency response. Fig. 2. Yamaha R-N602 - harmonic distortion. Fig. 3. Yamaha R-N602 - Power. Company data speak only of power at 8 ohms, which is 80 watts, but even with this load the power is much higher - 111 watts in single channel mode and 2 x 110 watts in stereo. At 4 ohms Yamaha delivers impressive 182 watts (one channel driven) or 2 x 158 watts. In this group Yamaha can boast the best noise clearance - S / N is 85 dB. Excellent frequency response (fig. 1), at 10 Hz no drop is visible, and at 100 kHz it is only -0.8 dB for 8 ohms and -1.2 dB for 4 ohms. The distortion spectrum (Figure 2) shows a clear advantage of odd distortions, but their level is safely low, the strongest third is at -88 dB, and the next - fifth, seventh and eleven - are clearly below -90 dB. Fig. 3. It is evident that, with respect to THD + N distortion (as well as bandwidth), the receiver performs very well - with both types of 8 and 4 ohm load characteristics being close together. The THD + N level of less than 0.1% is available for output power exceeding 2 W at 8 and less than 4 W at 4 ohms. I think with the above figures, this Yamaha will be just fine with your RP-260F's.

Thanks for the kind words but I don't know about being anyone's "guru". Enjoy. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
