Pioneer Elite Receiver 5.1
would i need a separate amp to power a Klipsch RB-81 system?
I was thinking of getting a Klipsch RB-81 system in 5.1, and will be using for 90% movies/games and 10% music. I currently have the receiver only.
-Receiver Pioneer Elite VSX-23TXH
-Amp: Emotiva XPA-5
-Fronts: Klipsch RB-81
-Center: Klipsch RC-62
-Surround: Klipsch RS-62
-Sub: Velodyne SPL-1200R
here is my question:
My receiver outputs 110w rms per channel but the speakers are 150w rms and have sensitivity of 97 db.
Will i be under powering or will a Emotiva XPA-5 amp @ 200w per channel be better?
Thanks!!!
They are not the interchangeable. The Emotiva is a Power amp, so you would also need a pre-amp/controller (or the Pioneer and bypass it’s power amp section).
That said, the Pioneer will work fine with the Klipsch speakers. The 150 watt rating for the RB-81 is power handling, not how much it takes to power them. Also with the high sensitivity (97dB) you don’t need a lot of power to get loud sound.
Finally, keep in mind that to increase loudness by 3 dB (barely noticeable) you have to double the power. So you are not talking about any significant difference in loudness even if you cranked the volume up all the way … which you won’t need to do.
