dugemac Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 Ok, so i bought some KLF-20's the other day...My question is this, right now i have a 100wpc sony receiver pushing them. I know it's not enough power, but if i buy another 100 wpc receiver can i use the preouts to "bridge" the 2 receivers together? Buying a stand alone amp is out of the question right now....Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig6519 Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 That should be plenty of power for a pair of KLF-20's, I have KLF-30's they are 102db, I'm running a 35 watt tube amp and I can't even get close to 6 on the dial. Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dugemac Posted May 17, 2003 Author Share Posted May 17, 2003 I don't dare get to 5 on my receiver right now...at 4 they knocked a picture off the wall! But i'm worried about damaging them by clipping, etc.....I LOVE BASS!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audio Flynn Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 If you stay away from bone crushing volumes you should be OK. Sony power has been known to fry speakers due to poor workmanship and is a bit bright for Klipsch speakers. If HT is the need for the future the Outlaw 1050 should be a consideration for you.

Craig6519 Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 Dugemac, I'm in the U.S. Air Force. I just sold a H/K AVR 520 so that I could upgrade to tubes. This had plenty of bass. But I know what you mean I aslo regretably sold my SVS subs, you want bass at a good price go to www.svsubwoofers.com they have outstanding customer service.

dugemac Posted May 17, 2003 Author Share Posted May 17, 2003 I'm loving the bass from the 20's, I would just like some more headroom for them... Once i get back to the states, i can look for amps easier. I guess i'll have to wait... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynnm Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 FWIW I am running KLF30's with a 35 W/ch tube amp and recently heard a young fellow contribute a bass line to a Leonard Cohen tune. The speakers are in my living room. We had one window and the screen portion of our aluminum storm door open. The accompianist was nearly a block away. 'nuff said about power requirements for KLF's ?
