ricguitar Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 I am using a recent pair of Klipsch CF-3's and a pair of Heresey's from 1984 in a two channel configuration. I'm running a Denon DRA 1035R receiver rated at 130 watts min rms per channel @ 8 ohms to run all four speakers...The sound is damn good but I have an oportunity to buy a friends Adcom power amp at a very good price..So here is my question....I can easily split the preamp out signal and use the Denon to run two speakers and the Adcom to run the other two...but am I really gaining anything by running two amps at 8 ohms or would it be better to just leave the Denon running both sets of speakers at 4 ohms?...I'm not sure what the Denon puts out at 4 ohms but the Adcom is rated at 80 watts per channel at 8 ohms...thanks for any advice...I'm going to hook all this crap up anyway..just want to hear from a few experts before I start blowing things up...thanks..Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael hurd Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 As long as the input impedance is quite high on both units should be 10,000 ohms or higher, then using a y - connector would be fine. But does your denon have pre-amp outputs ? If it does, then just use those. Btw, I think the adcom would be more powerful than your denon, IMO.
