old amp died, looking for minimal cost solution
Hello,
My old stereo amplifier is no longer working. I was thinking of just buying an amplifier, connecting the tape out connector of my current amplifier to this new amp. And connecting my actual speakers to it (45W RMS per floor speaker)(but the actual amplifier was 35W)(8 ohm, whoofer 200mm dia, mr 127, tweeter 76). I am looking for a minimal cost solution, and would like to keep the speakers because I covered them to match the furniture. Any suggestions? Regards Richard |

Richard: Absolutely NOT A PROBLEM replacing your old amp with a new one and using the existing speakers. The slight difference in "Watts / rating" of the amp and the speakers is not going to matter at all. ..... on the other hand, why don't you get your "old" amp fixed? Maybe just a minor problem. At the very least TAKE it to a service shop for a repair cost estimate so you can make an intelligent repair decision with facts instead of guesses. It might be cheaper to fix it than to buy a new one. electricitym .. .. |

The tape out on nearly all amplifiers comes before both the volume and tone controls. That might not work exactly how you'd like. If you can get a schematic of the thing, you might be able to figure out where to tap in to get something usable. Isaac |
