Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions ARGH!!! Impedance question....

So nice to hear I made the right decision when I got the 525... :-)

It's 5-channel and 7-channel receivers where amplifier cooling becomes a huge issue with lower impedances.

Hey if im wrong about something dont be afraid to say so.

On another note i can definetly see where heat would become a problem when drivnig 7 channels. My C370 gets fairly warm, especially over the area where the pre-amp "modules" are located. If i had 5 more channels in there that thing would get cookin!

They are tired of getting a headache after about 10 minutes of listening to the little buggers.

On the basis of my own tests and those of several colleagues, H/K and Denon are the only brands of A/V receivers I currently recommend for the Axiom M80s.

So Alan, are you saying that I should re-think my decision to buy the Yamaha RXV1400 to drive my M80's with?

You could always take advantage of the Yammi's pre-outs and buy an outboard amp...

Ah yes, I would love to, but I have to calculate in the costs of a vp150 & a set of qs8's. Where you live in the land of the free, I live in the home of the taxed! Until Ottawa quits taking so much of my disposable income, separates are out of the budget.

at what % are you taxed? If it's around 30%, you've no right to complain.

Hi Shawn,

If the Yamaha RX-V1400 has a switch on the rear panel for 4-ohm loads, it will likely impose a current-limiting circuit, so I'd suggest you either think about getting M60s (8 ohms), which any receiver will easily drive, or choose an H/K or Denon that will drive the M80s.

Regards,

OK...just out of curiosity, I checked my last pay stub. My average for the year? Just over 32%. Bleck...

Oh...and I'm "single" and don't own a home, so I'll be lucky if I see any of it back in the form of a refund in the Spring. Double bleck...

I just checked my last stub and 31.95% goes to Iraq -- I mean the gov't -- but I'm anticipating a return due to the baby. No child-related costs until November 15, but I get to claim him for the year. Ain't it great.
