HI TD, I'm little old school in this so my question is: Can you get the same loudness from 4 Elac Shelf speakers? Because I'm having a super tough time with this. The main speakers are loud and the second set is super weak and not even close in sound. I'm not using my ONKYO TX-RZ620 AVR with a TV only my Turntable. Maybe you know what I'm doing wrong. I'm also contemplating on getting the external amp because i have to crank this thing up past 50 just to get some volume.

Just purchased a Marantz 6014 amp and currently running a 7.2.2 system. Wanting to add 2 more height atmos speakers. I understand you plug into the pre out height 2 on the Marantz amp but where would you plug into on the external 2 channel amp. I also understand that you plug the new height speakers into the external amp and I’m guessing that you control the volume of the new height speakers from the external amp. Is the volume a preference that you control as needed? Thanks

@matteup1502 4 года назад

It would be beneficial to mention your reciever has to have preouts prior to going into any of that. Beginners come to these videos with little knowledge of how these things work and even though you mention preouts, you never specify that you cannot add an external amp without preouts.

What’s up Techno Dad! I was wondering if it would make a difference if you run Audyssey before or after hooking up the external amplifier? I just bought 2 Outlaw 5000 for my Denon 4400H and wanted to make sure I set it up correctly.

@TechnoDad 5 лет назад

Hi! There would be a difference. I would say connect the amps and then run room correction.

@LuisRodriguez-su2qv 5 лет назад

Thanks Techno Dad! I’ll try it out tomorrow and see what happens👍

@FURognar 5 лет назад

Ultimately very efficient speakers will do the trick if you are doing a living room system or in a situation where you cant crank it. But in a dedicated room where you want to hit reference level, additional amps for the front sound stage is the way to go. Or even better...sensitive speakers AND plenty of power. The best of both worlds.

@TechnoDad 5 лет назад

Agreed!!

@timcorrigan 4 года назад

Ooh… I was ***wondering*** what on Earth the Audiophiliac was going on about when-during one of his celebratory videos of the Klipsch RP600M bookshelf speakers (which I was convinced to acquire)-he made a comment in passing, while **celebrating** how easy they were to drive, that they would make use of the power “*if you had it*.” I had bought what is considered a “*powerful*” Onkyo receiver from a list of the Top Ten AirPlay 2 AVRs of 2019, to feed the “*power hog*” ELAC Uni-Fi UB5 bookshelf speakers Steve G. and the posse had convinced me to acquire not long before the Klipsch. I remain confident the ELACs will ***feast*** on the Crown XLi 1500, but I must admit, the much more sensitive Klipsch remained a source of curiosity.

@na_98_45 5 лет назад

HELP please , i have ht7800 from onkyo and the av receiver do 100 w/ch 8ohm , so if I put an amp thats give 140 watt is that well be 240 watt total or only 140 w?

@uprajsingh 5 лет назад

That would 140Watt per channel only for the amp that you have added. Its just that you will not be using the power of HT7800 as what is advertised is not entirely true. So if you use 7 channels of HT7800 it is not 100W/ch in reality .. it should be around 60 or 70w max :)

Great video, thanks for the easy explanation. A question though, please. I am getting a new Onkyo tx-rz50 soon to replace my older Onkyo TX NR 626 AV Amp, This video got me wondering if I could use my older AV Amp as a Pre-out to power the front speakers, or vice versa instead of buying a dedicated amp?

I'm setting up my first home theater. Have all the equipment picked out except the amplifier. I've heard people say the amp os not going to provide any noticeable difference, and I've heard people say it will make a massive difference. It's a 7.1 channel setup. The front stage speakers are big fancy speakers, the rest are all smaller. My thought was to get an amp for my front big expensive speakers, but I don't want to spend the money if it's not going to make a big difference. I'm not worried about total loudness, I just want the best sound quality, it's not that big of a room.

Whether the volume, levels and crossovers and Audessy settings of these 3 channels will be automatically bypassed or still continuous, any sound delay issues etc. Rest of the channels (surround and height) continuous to work as previous or stop?

Hello Techno Dad. This video is really nice and helpful, but I have a question about another DENIN X2400H that I own. In the instructions for connecting an additional amplifier to the device, it says to connect ZONE2 on the AVR to the AUX input on the amplifier, of course via an RCA cable. I would like to amplify only the front speakers like this, to get a better stereo sound when listening to music. Do you have any experience with this and can you tell me if I would get a better sound with a good amp than my DENON. So would the sound have the characteristics of this other amplifier? Thanks for your reply and I wish you all the best.

@richardgourlay5279 4 года назад

hi Techno Dad..i have purchased the Denon 3600H which I have done 5.2.4....can I use the Sony strn d1080 to power the 4 heights and the denon to power the other speakers...if so , which cable do I use to connect denon to the sony….many thanks...from the UK...love all of your videos, mainly because im VIP, and you don't over do with the jargon...simple is best..thank you...

@hammer-fn7gm 10 месяцев назад

On my Onkyo TX NR696 the pre-outs are used by the subwoofers. How ever there is a left and right line out next to them. I used the line outputs and a separate pre-amp to control an Onkyo M501 power amp. The only drawback is the the volume to the additional speakers are controlled by the separate pre-amp. Would it be possible to use split left and right RCA cables to send the pre-out signal to the subwoofers and the power amp?

Would like to buy some ceiling speakers for Dolby Atmos. How would you hook up all of this?

Learned about this when trying to power a pair of Martin Logan Clarities with a Marantz avr. Blew it out. Bought a Emotiva XPA 3. Solved that problem.

Do any changes need to be made on the receiver set up menue after hook ups to the power amp?

Question: Is it even worth it to "Duplicate" your surround sound for rear height channels for example using an external amp??

What happens if you have more speakers than pre-out speakers, is it possible to add a second amplifier? (Thanks for all the input, this is where I found out how to connect an amp to my receiver.....now I need to connect two more speakers)

Great channel also great video! I have 2 Klipsch RF 62IIs for front main speakers, and a Klipsch Rp250 c for a center running off an Onkyo Rz-820. Im looking to add an external amp to power at least my mains, I like my music cranked at times, and well when the mood hits and i get to about -9 i can hear the speakers puttering out and sound horrible...i think i need more power...any suggestions for a mid level amp?

Hi there, i'm curious if doing this will stack the power the AV receiver normally sends on top of the power now coming from the powered amp or does the powered amp power replace the power going to the front channels altogether?

I’m usingTwo PARASOUNDS 2125 for biamping my two fronts now my AVR DENON is doing the center it’s the AVR-X7200WA model rated at 150 w for 8ohms that’s what they say I do have a mono block amp if I want to do the center as a option it’s brigged Mono. Or should I just use the AVR for the center ? Good video I do have dual subs .

Hi just wondering can I pair a Mark Levinson no 27 power amp with a Yamaha RXA720 receiver. I’ve read you can hook up an external amp through the zone 2 output but I’m wondering will it work with the powerful ML No 27 power amp I currently received as a gift.

What if you have 2 powered woofers and 4 e15 cerwin Vega. If you attach the 4 e15 to amp what would you do with the 2 powered woofers?

So the advantage of using preouts is either increasing power to FL,FR,FC or used to add more speakers using pre-outs right. Thanks.

Question for ya- my pre amp is a 90's Carver and obviously doesn't have any way to sense the signal for power from my receiver (so I will be pressing the power button every time). Do you know of a way to simplify this chance?

So I have an older kenwood av receiver and a kenwood amp. Do I hook up the power amplifier to the av receivers pre outs ? Also when I do the sound only works with the pro logic and surround settings but not in bypass .ode which is regular stereo mode . But when I hook my speakers just to the av receiver it works fine in stereo mode. Any help would be great thanks

I have a Sony STR-DH790, running the Klipsch Reference Cinema System 5.1.4 with Dolby ATMOS. I can only power 2 of the 4 atmos speakers, I'd love to power the other two speakers but my AVR doesn't have 9 channel capability, can I power the other two Atmos speakers by getting an external amplifier added to my system? And if so how can I do it?
