Hi All,
I have a Panasonic SAHT670 that has worked well for quite a few years and it kinda died. The details are in my other post here "Panasonic Home theater unit - mods?"
I am wondering if I just buy a new stereo amplifier and use the existing 5.1 speakers. I have
4 x 6-Ohm - 55-Watt for FR, FL, RR, RL 1 x 6-Ohm - 160-Watt Center 1 x 8-Ohm - 220-Watt Subwoofer.So here's what I am thinking and ignoring any technical rights and wrongs of mixing speaker impedance. {grin} I am not an audiophile and never have the volume cranked up high.
The Stereo amp I am looking at has...
2 x 3-Ohm speaker outputs. 1 Subwoofer 1v-120K (I think it was) output.What I would like to do is serial and parallel the 5 speakers. The FR, RR and the FL, RL are easy, but the Center has two tweeters so it is important for highs I am guessing, so I would like to incorporate that too.
I can get a 100-Watt plate amp and attach that to the back of the subwoofer box, so that's easy.
I do not want to buy a new home theater unit as when I installed this one I made cut-outs in the walls for the speakers and all the units I have recently looked at, the speakers are too big or the price is too big for the near enough sized speakers.
I looked at 5.1 amps and/or receivers and they are out of my price range right now.
So any suggestions here?
I am cross-posting to "sci.electronics.repair" (got yelled at here the last time I duplicated a post at "repair" and didn't cross-post instead) Hope I got it right this time.
Thanks
Dave
