See it here: http://www.outlawaudio.com/products/7125.html It is 125wpc x 7, but you will have a bit more power only driving six channels. You will have a very hard time finding anything else in that price range that isn't junk. If you really want 150-200 wpc x 6, you would need to double your budget. |

Silver Member Username: PolksavagePost Number: 116 Registered: Jun-06 | wow what a good price, have you heard one? |

Silver Member Username: JethroLansing, Mi Post Number: 157 Registered: Jan-06 | no haven't heard one, but have heard from alot of users on avs forums that they are a great internet direct company with this amp being one of the best values in audio at the moment. If I were going to buy a separate amp for HT, this would be the one. The company emotivas products were sold through av123 until recently they went solo. snoop around, I don't think you will find anything "fishy" about the company just a lot of happy owners. |

New member Username: SummerjOrlando, FL Post Number: 1 Registered: Oct-07 | Hello Glad to meet everyone. This site is a wealth of information. You guys are all awesome! I have been reading your posts for days now. but still have a few questions: I need help with an amp selection. I have 6 ceiling mounted speakers throughout different (20 watts each) rooms and 2 patio speakers (40 watts) mounted outside as well. I currently have a lower end onkyo 2100,100w high discrete amp (I can hear everyone laughing... lol) receiver with a/b switches that I am using. It has become very noisy on the left channel. The volume control is so scratchy I need headphones on to adjust it. lol I am sure i have put it under too much stress at times so it's failure is probably my fault- waste of 200 bucks 3 yrs ago I am looking to buy a used NAD Amp along with some sort of separate volume control device where I can run all of my speaker leads into. My house is older so running volume controls at the speaker itself is not possible. Is this what I need? Oh... I use my mac laptop,or I pod to run music files through or I use my sirus sat radio. so no FM is needed (Though I do have iton my piece of crap Onkyo) Questions: 1. What model used Amp do you suggest ($200-300 max)I know some of you are not e-bay fans but for my price range I am stuck there-I will be careful. 2. What is the technical name for the box with all of the volume controls and who makes a good one? Thanks in advance for your help Jim |

New member Username: NhiquayAustralia Post Number: 1 Registered: Dec-07 | Can anyone please show me best way to connect a subwoofer to an amplifier (Yamaha DSP A1)? My current connection is as following: Speakers output from Amplifier is to Input of Subwoofer and Subwoofer output is to Speakers. Thank you |
|
Platinum Member Username: Jan_b_vigneDallas, TX Post Number: 11836 Registered: May-04 | . What's wrong with that connection? |
|
New member Username: NhiquayAustralia Post Number: 2 Registered: Dec-07 | Hi, I want the sound coming out from the Amplifier. This connection seems the sound coming out from the subwo}ofer not the Amplifier. |
|
Platinum Member Username: Jan_b_vigneDallas, TX Post Number: 11837 Registered: May-04 | . The sound is coming from the amplifier and running through the subwoofer. That's perfectly fine. Without knowing what other options you have there's no other way to suggest as a connection. |

New member Username: HkbuffLangley, BC Canada Post Number: 1 Registered: Jan-08 | Hi, Does anyone out there know how to indentify(tell apart)the different versions of the Harman Kardon Citation 16 Power amplifiers ? I have two of these amps, one that I have owned for over 20 years (mint) and another one (mint)that I acquired about year ago. From what I know they had three differnet versions: Citation 16 (original) Citation 16A (improved) Citation 16AS (commercial/no led level indicators) Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks |

Platinum Member Username: Jan_b_vigneDallas, TX Post Number: 12012 Registered: May-04 | . The 16 & 16A should be tagged as such from HK. The unit without LED's was the 16B and was only produced in small numbers for a short time. It is the same amp inside as the 16A, sold for not that much less ($1595 or $100 less if I remember correctly) and didn't capture anyone's attention the way the amps with the flying "V" did. The 16B was never to my knowledge intended to sell commercially though HK would gladly let that happen. At $1695 for the 16A the amp's cost was somewhat on the high side of average for its day. Crown and Phase Linear were selling for quite a bit less and McIntosh was quite a bit more. The LED-less model was merely an attempt by HK to bring the price down for someone not interested in the light show. The Citation power amps of the day were the favorites in the shop I worked in at the time and embodied everything HK knew about building amps. I own a Citation 12 Deluxe as I thought the 16 was a bit tilted toward the top end for my tastes. But driving AR 10pi's with the 16A gave quite a good sound considering the AR's dropped to below 3 Ohms. The Absoute Sound did a "historical" review of the 16A not too long ago and gave it a good review compared to today's amplifiers. . |

New member Username: GosseGuayaquil, Guayas Ecuador Post Number: 1 Registered: Jan-08 | Hello to everybody. I am looking to upgrade my home sound system and I have a budget of $ 3000. I will really appreciate if you could give me some recommendation/advice of what is the best amp+floorstanding speakers set up I can buy? The system will be used in my living room, mostly for social reunions. My music preference is rock, alternative and some electronic music (no rap or hip hop). Thanks for your kind assistance. |
