I'm currently looking for a high quality two channel amplifier that can drive a pair of JBL Control 28 speakers, and with the added possibility of accommodating a pair of JBL Control 18S subwoofers.
This amplifier needs to have enough headroom to prevent any chance of clipping with the four speakers. I'd also prefer to have a budget limit of $200, but I'd be open to spending more if the difference in quality is noticeable.
Here are some specifications of the speakers I'm planning to use.
JBL Control 28
• Nominal Impedance:
8 ohm
• Power Capacity:
175W Continuous Program
• Frequency Range:
55 Hz to 20 kHz (–10 dB)
• Sensitivity:
92 dB SPL
• Crossover Frequency:
JBL Control 18S
• Nominal Impedance:
8 ohm
• Power Capacity:
200W Continuous Program
100W Continuous Pink Noise
• Frequency Range:
46 Hz – 180 Hz (–10 dB)
• Sensitivity:
95 dB SPL
• Network Filter to Subwoofer: 12 dB/oct low-pass, 160 Hz
• Filter to Satellite Outputs: 6 dB/oct high-pass, 160 HzThis system will be strictly used for music, and fed via RCA inputs.
If anyone could offer their help, I'd appreciate it. It's been a while since I purchased something like this, and I'd like to think I'm making a smart investment.
