Hi,
I'm trying to buy a speaker and amp set up for small parties and events I hope to throw. The equipment I have my eyes on is:
JBL Eon1500 Speakers (two of these)
Gemini X3 Power Amp
I am concerned about compatibilty on these. I am not very familiar with the way watt and ohm ratings go.
The JBL Eon1500 speakers are supposed to be as follows:
55 Hz to 16 kHz frequency response.
98 dB sensitivity (1 watt @ 1 meter)
8 ohms impedance
225 watts continuous pink noise power handling, 900 watts peak.

The Gemini X3 power amp is:
Output Power EIA: 1kHz @ 1% THD, Wrms
Both Channels Driven: @ 8 Ohms = 200 Watts, @ 4 Ohms = 300 Watts
Mono Bridge: @ 8 Ohms = 600 Watts
Dynamic Headroom: @ 8 Ohms = 1.6 dB, @ 4 Ohms = 2.2 dB
Frequency Response: 30 Hz – 50 kHz
Total Harmonic Distortion: Less Than 0.05%, Typical 0.02% @ 1 kHz
Signal to Noise Ratio: 100 dB Below Rated Power @ 8 Ohms
Damping Factor: Greater Than 200 @ 8 Ohms
Slew Rate: 20 V/µS

The links contain more information if needed.
Is this setup compatible. Can I connect these two speakers to that amp and get good results? I'm hoping to plug this into a mixer connected to 2 CD turntables.
Thanks!
