Norm Mowry Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 will this afford each speaker a total of 200w per channel, thereby allowing each speaker its suggested 150w power handling requirements? I am concerned my Onkyo TX-SR706 receiver is underpowered at 100W per channel for the 150W handling Synergy F-3 speakers. This may be a stupid question, as I am not well versed in today's audio specs, but are there any affordable ways to punch up a receiver's power output in order to better match it to one's speaker's power handling? My apologies if this has been asked before. I tried to search for an answer and found nothing. Kind regards, Norm Mowry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyboy Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Basically, yes, it will give each one 200 watts. I bi amped my F2's, and believe me, it was a day and night difference...... after I re did the auto eq. And I don't think you can punch up a receiver's power. Just bi amp them and you'll be fine. It made a hell of a difference on my F2's! This may help...... http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/t/111972.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyboy Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Oh ya, one more thing..... Welcome to the forum and the world of Klipsch!!![Y] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 'matching' the speaker's power handling abilities is a non-issue. There are average watts, continuous watts, and peak watts. Most receivers won't put out nearly as much as they claim and most speakers can take 4x the peaks that they advertise. Totally a waste of time even thinking about it. More important is understanding the concept of 'bi-amp' and what the receiver manufacturers make you believe are real performance gains by strapping in the 'unused' amp channels. Relax, do some reading and learn lots more. Welcome to the Madness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ69 Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Give it a try, it can't hurt (unless you short the outputs). If that doesn't do the trick, you might want to think about getting a big seperate amp. You can use your Onkyo as a pre-amp. Thanx, Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm Mowry Posted November 29, 2008 Author Share Posted November 29, 2008 Thanks everyone! You all are very kind to help. I did notice a very favorable difference in sound after bi-amping the F-3s, but then I thought I noticed a favorable sound difference when I removed their grilles. ) Again, thanks!

tommyboy Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Some people think the grill thing is a mind thing.... like a placebo or whatever. I too think that mine sound better with the grills off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
