Hi Folks,
I will be picking up a Emotiva LPA-1 locally through a seller over at the Emotiva Lounge. This is the first time I have ever owned a seperate amp so I have a quick question regarding my setup:
7 x Klipsch R-5800-W In Wall's:
FREQUENCY RESPONSE - 40Hz-20kHz ± 3dB
POWER HANDLING - 50 w max continuous (200 w peak)
recommended amplifier power 100W
SENSITIVITY - 94dB @ 1 watt/1 meter
NOMINAL IMPEDANCE 8 ohms
Yamaha RX-V663 (Used as Pre-Pro)(95wx7 RMS)
I plan on using the LPA-1 for 5 of the channels at 125W each for sure. The question I have is if I should hookup channel 6 & 7 through the LPA at 50w per channel. Am I better off hooking channels 6/7 through my receiver? If all my receiver is doing is outputting 2 channels, can it perform better than the 50w per channel of the LPA?
One thing I've considered is it may be best to have a single "type" of amp throughout the sound stage to create a seemless transition between them.
Another option is to turn it into a 3 channel amp by combing two of the amps per channels bet I think that 250w/channel may damage my Klipsch speakers. Recommended power handling is 100W per Klipsch specs above....
Any pointers would be helpfull.
Thanks!
