Hey,

I've got a delema perhaps some of you can help me solve. I recently splurged and dropped a grand on a really cool set of floor speakers. JBL S312II's at 250watts each. They fucking rocked the place until they cooked my amp. It was old and didn't owe me anything, but I still am kinda pissed. The amp was a Fisher 200w amp. It would do 100 watts/channel I suppose then right? The volume was less then half when the thing just cooked. I'm now in the market for a new amp/tuner/reciver. I'm not sure of the latter what I really need.

I have:
2 x technics 1200
1 x pioneer djm-300 (just couldn't justify the cash for the 5/600)
2 x JBL S312II (250watts 8ohms impedence)

What kind of amp/reciver/tuner is best to power the speakers? Eventaully I'd like at least have the option of hooking a dvd player/tv or whatever into what I buy so I can watch movies with really nice sound too.

Could someone with some knowledge on the subject fill me in please.

thanks,

gb

You should take a look at the Crown Ce 1000. It's a very nice and respectable product.




You can pick one up brand new for about $350 to $400.

it's better to have an amp that's putting out a little more wattage than your speakers
the distortion from an overworked amp can cause your speakers to blow as well as the amp
but if the speakers are getting too much juice from the amp it'll cook the voice-coils, which you can smell and turn down the amp before any damage occurs
and this way your amp isn't over-exerted

I recomend if your looking for home receivers i go for an onkyo,denon, anything that has high current in it.
