wolf@thedoor Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 Howdy, Bought a pair of KSP-300's from e-bay. Looking for a good amp for these speakers. These speakers already have a amp built in for the subs so I don't know how good of a amp I really need. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

T2K Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 Just from memory I think the speakers will play at 94 db at 1M/1W, so you won't need much. How many speakers do you plan to use, home theatre or stereo, how much do you want to spend? Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolf@thedoor Posted December 15, 2002 Author Share Posted December 15, 2002 Hello Again, I am willing to spend $1K - $2K for a amp/tuner (used would be fine -ebay). My friend gave me a Kenwood 6030 amp, but I could turn it up all the way and the speakers handle it with no problem with minimal distortion. I'd like to have a more powerful/better amp as I understand that the signal is cleaner at lower volumes. Is that correct. I heard about McIntosh and Krell, but those are way outta my range!! My wallet isn't thick enough!! How about Carver?? They're kinda pricey too! Let me know your thoughts as they are appreciated. P.S. How do I get rid of the noise on my KSP-300 speakers. I hear that others have the same problem. Sincerely, The Newbie Wolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invidiosulus Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 Hi, If you don't mind spending a ton of money try a harmon kardon 430. These go on ebay for at least $40 Seriously though these are good amps but they are only 25wpc, this may be a little on the low side if you like really loud music. What kind of noise problems are you having exactly?? Peace, Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolf@thedoor Posted December 15, 2002 Author Share Posted December 15, 2002 Howdy, When I select the CD or tuner option on the amp, I turn up the volume and there is a loud humming sound coming from the speakers. When I crank it up, the music drowns out the humming sound. I thought maybe the amp should be grounded, but I've read that others have the same problem with these exact speakers. Any know solutions? Thanks. Regards, Wolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2K Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 Just for an experiment go to Home Depot or any hardware and buy a coupla those .59 3/2 adapter thingy's to eliminate the ground. See if that helps and report back. Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
