Power / Integrated Amplifier Recommendations

[grierts]

I want my setup to be a lot more loud.


Here is my current setup:


CENTER CHANNEL SPEAKER: Emotiva Airmotiv C2+

AVR / RECIEVER: Yamaha RX-V681

LR SPEAKERS: Emotiva Airmotiv B1+

SUBWOOFERSSVS: PB-1000 Pro x 2

REAR SPEAKERS: NEUMI BS5

I want to get a amplifier to increase the spl of my speakers.
Can I get amplifier recommendations for less than $500.



Side question: If my AVR only has 2x preouts, How could I connect both subs and the new amplifier ??


Would this be a good deal / Satisfy my needs ?

Your avr only has two sub pre-outs so adding a power amplifier won't work.

I'd also wonder how much louder those speakers could get even with more power. Might be better off simply getting speakers capable of getting very loud to begin with....but also worth considering just not going super loud so your ears will thank you later in life....

I don't think a bigger amp is gonna do what you think. Even if you get one that's twice as powerful you only gain 3 dB. I agree with HD. You're better off going with more sensitive speakers, tho I gotta wonder just how loud you're listening. How far do you sit from your speakers? Maybe play with this calculator a little to get an idea of the relation between power and volume.

I wasn't all that familiar with the Emotiva speakers you have so just looked at them a bit.....yes, if you want loud I'd think about different speakers rather than worry about the amp at this point. They're just small bookshelf speakers....only so much they can do.

Louder usually = bigger more dynamic speakers, not little bookshelf speakers and more power.

Little bookshelf speakers + a lot of power usually = blown tweeters.
