This is probably a silly question, but I am definitely not an electrician. How could one know if they are fully utilizing an external amp ? Meaning the NC502MP has 2.35V sensitivity to get 500W into 4 ohm speakers Or it's 2.77V sensitivity to get 350W into 8 ohm speakers. Is there any way I...

Hey so question. In order for us to reach that full 3.5/4 volts. We would need to turn up the volume control on the AVR ? All the way up i would presume

Check out this thread i literally just started a few days ago. It was about the sister avr to the Rz50. I have the Integra Drx 3.4 There is a link in this thread that talks about how 2 people contacted onkyo customer support about preout voltage. 1 person was told the pre outs voltage is 1V...

Thanks for this !!!

L/R Speakers : Emotiva b1+ Sensitivity =85db Center : Emotiva C2+ Sensitivity is like 92db Surrounds: Neumi b5 Sensitivity is 85db So yeah, I understand I dont need a lot of power. Ima just get The Pascal model 4x800 And be done with this .

Damm never even knew about low gain . So one last question: (I feel like a nuisance, since I'm so ignorant to this hi-fi world) Taking into account my max 2V AVR preout. The Pascal model does 4x800 Hypex NC502MP NCore Amplifier 500Wx4 If its true the Pascal requires 2.5V. I'll get more...

So can somebody verify if I am understanding this required VRMS for amps The NC500OEM requires 10.73vrms to be fully powered at 4ohms The 1ET400A / Purifi-Audio Requires 9.6VRMS to be fully powered at 4ohms The PASCAL L-PRO2S requires 3.5V for full output voltage swing Is this correct ???

From the Drx3.4 owners manual Input Sensitivity and Impedance: 200 mV/47 kΩ (LINE(RCA)), 3.5 mV/47 kΩ (PHONO MM) Rated RCA Output Level and Impedance PRE OUT : 1 V/470 Ω LINE OUT (ZONE 2/ZONE B) : 200 mV/2.2 kΩ LINE OUT (ZONE 3) : 200 mV/470 Ω

Found this useful thread https://forums.audioholics.com/forums/threads/integra-drx-3-4-vs-denon-3700h-preamp-output.124455/ 2 people said they both talked to Integra customer support about the preout output. 1 person was told, 1v max Another was told 2v max. Interesting....

Is this what we are looking for ?

To my understanding the new ONKYO/INTEGRA/PIONEER AVRS are all made in the same factory. There is just slight differences between them. But the hardware is all very similar. (They all have 3 different trim levels. Each trim lever for each company being damm near identical in specs.) Does...

And this makes sense to me!!! Looking at the Emotiva basx A3 Power Output (ALL channels driven): - 140 watts RMS per channel; 20 Hz – 20 kHz; THD < 0.1%; into 8 Ohms. - 200 watts RMS per channel; 1 kHz; THD < 1%; into 4 Ohms - Input Sensitivity (for rated power; 8 Ohm load): 1.25 V. And the...

No amp currently. Everything running through the AVR. Wanted the amp to give my avr some headroom on power, and if I ever upgraded my speakers in the future to something more power hungry, I would already be good. I really wanted to see if there was truly more Clarity at lower listening...

Man that sounds Like I am wasting $1k on minimal improvements. Ill probably just cancel the order. Any other amps, that you all could recommend?

WHEW !!!! man i feel stupid... But thanks
