Like the J-man said...

One word - Behringer.

 

[markkirk1]

If went with the Behringer amps what do I to hook them up to a yamaha RX-V 1700 receiver as far as adaptors

Thanks

You can use something as simple as a RCA to XLR cable.

If you have a "hum" issue, the ArtClean box is a great way to eliminate that plus provides a clean balanced connection going from RCA (AVR) to XLR (amp).

can I use banna plugs hook speakers to this or do I need adptor for that too
Soory for all the question but I want to get everything I will need to get amps running with as few problems as possible also where would get the fans for the fan mod

Thanks

 

[ParadigmDawg]

Yes, you can use banana plugs.

I can't remember where I ordered the fan but the mod was simple. Search around on here and you will fine the fan thread (I will look too). I want to say it cost me about 8 bucks online.

 

[markkirk1]

ok thanks for all the info

Just so you know if your reciever doesn't have an output voltage of 1.4v then you will not get full power out of the amp. If it does not then you will need to use a line leveler such as an Art cleanbox or a Rolls mb15 to balance the input voltage to the amp.

 

[markkirk1]

which would the ARTDTI or the cleanbox that is powered with 12 volt transformer Im sure I will need them and also let me send a balanced signal to my paradigm sub 12 in the future

thanks

 

[ParadigmDawg]

The "powered" one will send a frequency attenuation to the amp (not what you want).

Get the DTI.

 

[markkirk1]

Ok thanks for all of your help I will get artdti then thanks again
