It should be no problem.

Okay everybody,

Here's an update on my speakers. I had them stored for a Year because of a larger Room renovation project, and it turns out I didn't remember their technical Data too well... ;-)

The speakers are IQ junior 300, nominal 100watts, max 160watts with a frequency range from 30-25000 Hz

Nothing really totally highend HiFi at all, but they did a decent job in my rooms.

Do you think, the BEOMASTER 3000 can handle those (and some cheapos from kenwood in the kitchen) without an additional power stage?

Yours

Ray

Hi Steffen,

Sounds good! My main speakers are stored away right now so I cannot supply all data immediately. I will post it later...maybe you or somebody else will be able to judge from that data.

Thanks a lot so far,

Ray

You can connect some 100w speakers if you want. It's not a matter of the output of the speakers - it's a matter of the sensitivity of the speakers. Some speakers are easy to drive -some needs a more powerful amplifier.

The Beomaster 3000 should be able to power two sets of speakers with little problem. Most music will actually use about 2 W with bonly the odd burst to higher levels.

Hi Forum,

I have a setup around a Beomaster 3000 receiver and want to connect 2 speakers with around 20w each to output set B and 2 speakers with around 40w each to output set A. I feel that this might drain to much power from the amp (though I hardly every pump up the volume to party level). So I thought about leading the output from the Beomaster to a power stage before routing to the speakers.

Does anyone have recommendations on this? Will any power stage do? Should I place the power stage close to the Beomaster and go with the speaker wires from there (which I would prefer) ?

Or are my worries without reason?

Yours,

Ray
