[MOOSEKNUCKLE]

Bump For The Morning Crew...
Anyone?

 

[mazersteven]

I think the Harman Kardon will do fine without an amp.

 

[mike c]

or if you decide you need an amp, the harman kardon has pre-outs.

it has a built in tuner as well, and composite video switching too.

 

[MOOSEKNUCKLE]

This Things Sole Purpose Will Be To Drive These
Two Speakers Only..cd Only.(two Large Cd Changers)
So I Was Just Wondering If I Could Get More Quality And Sound Out Of A Intergrate Or A Pre/ Power Amp Combo.

Again, Thank You For The Schooling...i'm Sure This Is All Elemetary
For You Guys.

I think your receiver should do fine. But if at high volumes you think your hearing distortion you could always add an external amp.

 

[MOOSEKNUCKLE]

Add An External?
You Mean Via The Pre/ Amp Outputs On The Back Of The Recvr?
If So Will That Actually Add The Power Of The Amp On Top Of The
Power Of The Receiver...or Just Deliver The Power From The External..

 

[AVRat]

Just the external amp's power.

 

[MOOSEKNUCKLE]

Just the external amp's power.

SO WOULDN'T SPENDING THE MONEY ON A FULL RECIEVER BE BETTER SPENT
ON SEPERATE COMPONANTS ( POWERFULL INTERGRATE OR PRE/PRO)RIGHT OFF OF THE BAT?

 

[AVRat]

If all you want to do is play the CDs, then perhaps an inexpensive pre-amp and a Behringer A500 Amp would work for you.

 

[mazersteven]

Just purchase two of these. Plus your receiver.

[MOOSEKNUCKLE]

That Seems Fairly Affordable @ Around 200 Bucks..:d

Pretty Reputable Amp?
Any Recomendations On A Pre-amp?

2 0F THESE?
YOU MEAN BRIDGE THEM...ONE PER SPEAKER?
THAT WOULD BE BU-KOO POWER NO?

 

[Seth=L]

The H/K is less expensive than most quality preamps and offers some features preamps costing more will not have. I would suggest just getting the receiver and if you feel it doesn't have enough power you can connect a more powerful amplifier like the Behringer A500, which will drive the Cerwin Vegas to insane levels out output for extended periods of time.

You are better off just getting the receiver for now, IMO.

IMO you don't need two of those, one Behringer A500 would be plenty of power for the very efficient Cerwin Vega speakers.

And as I already mentioned, the H/K presents a better value and function for your intents and purposes definitely. It is essentially a preamp with a tuner and amplifier built in.

 

[3db]

Cerwin Speakers are ultra efficient same league as Klipsh

The Harmon Kardon you have chosen will play these loud and clear enough for extended listening times in which you'll grow stone deaf. Seriously, forget the seperates. You won't need seperate amps UNLESS you are playing them in some kind of huge hall type room.

SO ESSENTIALL ANY RECIEVER SUITED WITH THE FEATURES THAT I PREFFER
WOULD FUCTION PERFECTLY AS A PRE-AMP....REGARDLESS OF ITS POWER
OUT-PUT? I.E... A LESSER MODEL HK OR OTHER OLDER MODEL OF MY PREFFERANCE

Yes, but you must be certain that it has a preout(not just subwoofer either, two channel preout)

Also, the less expensive ones my have less inputs, but for your purpose you will still have plenty of excess inputs.

So What Would I Have To Do To Run The Two Cv's A A Sub Woofer In
The Front Room And One More In Another Operated At The Same Time Or Independantly.

Receiver Still The Way To Go?

I assume the receiver has A/B speaker terminals, you can use those for a second room. Most stereo receivers have A/B terminals.
