Author Topic: Power amps in the home Jarret Chessell Master Film Handler Posts: 288 From: London, Ontario, Canada Registered: Jan 2009 posted 04-15-2010 10:56 PM                     I just installed a Crown XLS 602 I bought off ebay into my home audio "rack". The purpose is to drive speakers around the house. I know lots of you have me way beat in this area (but my setup is getting more and more geeky I swear!). Anyways... I know from home theater installing in the past, that cheap receivers don't like mix-matched impedance matching volume controls on the B speaker channel. With a more powerful flexible amp like this, should I run into any issues running 2 or 3 impedance matching controls? edit: No wait, just occurred to me that my old boss was silly and probably never understood speaker balancing, I bet that's why he had trouble with volume controls. And yes, this is all cheaper and more fun than installing a more flexible system like A-BUS or some other russound system.  |  IP: Logged Jarret Chessell Master Film Handler Posts: 288 From: London, Ontario, Canada Registered: Jan 2009 posted 04-20-2010 09:14 PM                     No opinion on impedance volume controls???
