Hi,
I've started accumulating my axiom collection slowly, choosing to start right from the top with a pair of m80 fronts. They're surrounded by cheaper speakers (Merak) center + surrounds, which are 8 ohm. I'm using a DIY amplifier kit using a tripath chip (similar to that in Sonic Impact T-amp), which should deliver 100W/each channel (40-50W RMS). I've been having constant power problems, melting out a power supply, and was wondering if this might have to do with having two different sets of resistances on my speakers (though likely crappy condo electrical wiring is to blame). The amp is very energy efficient, and isn't generating a lot of heat, so if something were the problem I'd imagine it would be surges (last time I connected the power supply it totally fried the Monster Powerbar it was connecting to, though it's Monster so I shouldn't be that surprised).I was just wondering if anyone else using a DIY amp/dedicated amp was having similar problems with power. Thanks!
