jamesV Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 You can always get the Emotiva amp and get a receiver that has the hook-ups that you need for the time being. As long as the receiver has Pre-Outs on it you will be fine. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CO1 Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 What do you guys think of the Rotel RB-1080 amp & RC-1070 pre-amp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefluffy Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 100 wpc is more than enough. "I'm sure most people have experienced what it is like in a club when the music is so loud you have to yell to have a conversation and even then you don't understand half the time what is being said..." At about 75 watts, I can YELL as loud as I possibly can and my wife cannot hear a single word I say. The same goes if she screams at me. My room is smaller than yours, but I must warn you that in my room this 75 watts is so loud it is terribly uncomfortable. Just my little tidbit for ya.

Cal Blacksmith Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I run a 45wpc tube amp with my cornwalls and I have yet to be able to turn the amp up high enough for it to start breathing hard, let alone push it. I get 105db easily out of no more than about 5wpc peak power. Granted my room is about 12x12x8 but cornwalls are 98db efficent, that means that at 1 watt of power at one meter (3 feet) from the speaker, you get 98 db of sound. This is a LOT of sound, you need QUALITY power, not huge amounts of power in my humble opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CO1 Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 Order placed for the RR2150. Getting on a plane Thursday but I won't get there until Monday. Hopefully the amp and speakers will get there shortly after. Now it's just a waiting game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appleskinner Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 CO1 ~ I am curious to hear if you received the Outlaw and how you like it with the Cornwalls. I used to have one of their 1050 HT receivers and thought it put out some good sound in a 2-channel configuration. I haven't seen much info on this receiver other than professional reviews -- how would you describe the sound with your Cornwalls? ~Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CO1 Posted December 6, 2008 Author Share Posted December 6, 2008 I don't have my Cornwalls yet...should be here this week. I do have the Outlaw RR2150 and so far I'm impressed. I have it hooked up to some old crappy Panasonic speakers that were lying around and they actually sound pretty good with this amp. I don't have my CD player yet either so I'm using my ipod's headphone out, forgot my line out dock, to the aux input jack and I am suprised that it sounds as good as it does. The Cornwalls will be the real test for the ipod and I doubt I will be as impressed. My other Klipsch speakers are real picky about the quality of my mp3's so I assume the same will be true of the Cornwalls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CO1 Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 Speakers arrived...minor cab damage but nothing major. I'm going to hit the weights and see how they sound!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksonbart Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I'm going to hit the weights careful that is a good way to break a hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ69 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I haven't heard this one but it's a stout little unit, Onkyo A-9555. The Bose guys demo the 901's with these, with a Klipsch speaker this should blow you out of the room. Thanx, Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CO1 Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 I'm keeping the Outlaw RR2150. My CD player hasn't arrived yet so I was using my ipod and liked the sound very much until I hooked up a cheap DVD player to play CD's...HOLY SH!T!!! Can someone tell me more about the components in these speakers and if anything needs to be upgraded. I don't plan to upgrade anytime soon because I'm very happy with the sound right now but I'm still curious. Thanks.
