How many watts are you running?

[OldiesButGoodies]

Thank you Kingman

I am running 800 watts per channel at 4 ohms,  biamped.  Sunfire 405 x 5

[SunnyDaze]

Magnavox 8800: 8 x 2 @ 4 Ohms

Onkyo M-504: 165 x 2 @ 8 Ohms

Magnavox 9300: 8 x 2 @ 4 Ohms

I should clarify a little, too.

The 8800 is driving an 8 ohm load, so I'm probably getting 4-5 watts out of it.

The 504 is driving a 6 ohm load, I believe Onkyo rates the 504 at 230 WPC @ 6 ohms.

The 9300 is driving an 8 ohm load, so I'm getting somewhere in the ballpark of 8 watts there. 2 watts into the Choruses is enough to drive you out of the room.

I live below 1 WPC with efficient speakers. But here's a list if I wanted to go crazy

AN Intergrated 300b SET 8 WPC - JBL bass bins and Jabo horn
AN Interstage Mono Blocks  300b PSE 20 WPC - Altec A5's
AN Interstage Mono Blocks  300b PSE 20 WPC - Altec A4's
AN Interstage Mono Blocks  300b PSE 20 WPC - EV Sentry IV bass bins Azura Horn Lowther PM4a driver
Carver Baby Black Beauty EL 84 20 WPC - Khorns
Sunfire 5 x 400 wpc - 3 Klipsch Lascalas ( fronts) Cornwalls ( surrounds)
Phase Linear 400 somewhere in Pennsylvania

I did get rid of a bunch of stuff and really tried to think this down some more...but it looks like it's going the other way again

Now THAT'S a home theatre system...

Obviously!

Well it depends....

305 wpc into one set of ALIII's
1200 wpc into the other set of ALIII's.

Well, I'm running a Carver M-500, which is 251WPC at 8 ohms, but I'm only running them on these little Polk Monitor 5jr.'s until my real speakers get here.

Capability: 1400 MAC watts in the stereo rig, at any resistance, any combination of frequencies, at .005% distortion 24/7.

Typical: about one watt/side, with occasional bursts to 100 or more, depending on program material-give or take

Home theater-800 MAC watts at 8 ohms over 5 channels

[Kingman]

OK... 1200 per at 4 ohms in the main system, sub excluded, depends on the amp in my little bedroom setup. Currently 350 at 8 ohms.

[Rockman Rock]

250Wpc into 8 ohms
500Wpc into 4 ohms
1kWpc into 2 ohms
4kWpc into 0.5

Krell KSA-250 into 4 Ohm speakers.

Classe DR-25: 500 wpc into 4 ohms, Legacy Classics (92 dB sensitivity)

[bmwr75]

Pioneer SA-9100 , 60 WRMS into 8 ohms.  Driving Tyler Acoustics Taylo Reference Monitors that are 88 Senstivity (dB 1W 1M)

Muse all FET power amp drives my Acoustat Spectra 1100's in my bedroom system with 100 watts per channel and it blows fuses if I push it.

Current my main stereo listening is a Marantz 2235b running MBquart Q1000s ( http://www.hifi-wiki.de/index.php/MB_Quart_1000 ), they're 4ohm nominal, but I don't push it at all, never gets that warm. Secondary speakers are the Tannoy System 800 Studio Monitors, same amp. I've got bigger and badder, but no need. Hoping to find a console soon to de-tube and try that out.

When the subs kick on for HT, it's a Dayton Audio Titanic Mk3 being fed 2000w via BGW GTB pro-amp, crossed over via receiver @ 60hz. It's in an undersized sealed box but the low end is boosted to compensate for losses. It gets louder than my windows can handle without issue, so I haven't bothered to build a new box.

To be fair,   my amp can only do 800 watts  at 4 ohms for 2 seconds,  then the power supply runs out of steam.  But I think that was the genius of the design,  as most music will not require full power for that long.
