i got a nice deal in a crown com-tech 810.
it has xlr connects.(plan to use xlr-rca cables)i know this is not a true balanced connect.
my preamp has line-level outs.
here's where i am.
crown 810 300wpc@8ohms
jbl synthesis sdp3 pre
jbl l890 towers
l8400 sub
input by phone or bt adapter.
not into vinyl nor cds.
working on a streamer of some sorts eventually.
my current amp(lol) is an audiosource model 3 150wpc. it sounds pretty good to me but i wondered what 250 would sound like since jbl recommended it i thought id experiment.
id expect some loudness but im probably looking more for increased soundstage/presence?
any suggestions on gain-staging for either amp.
i was told consumer preamps might not match input voltage of power amps. im sure there is a workaround.
i havent gotten into rew or any of that yet.
