very interesting.... $39 amp gets good review

Yeah.. it runs off 12V but it can go up to something like 13.8V or so if the supply is tightly regulated. The Speaker connectors are spring terminals. Crappy small dinky ones.. as far as recommending anything for it, i still am not that impressed with it, so i will hold off any recommendations... of all my speakers, the Klipsch RB-5 MKII's sounded the best with it. Sensitivity of 96db.

I would not mind borrowing this from you if I may. I can;t for the next week or so because I have tons of homework - but perhpas I could meet you some place like Chapters.

Even though speakers can be sensitive some speakers have deeper impedence swings - my J's are an easier load than the E's so despite the fact that the E's are more sensitive they may actually be tougher to drive as the frequency esponse of the E has a 3.6ohm dip from 80hz right through the midbass to 200hz. Ie; a low powered amp would have trouble with the bass.

Yes, the Klipsch RB-5's have a a similar dip at the low frequencies... Sure, no problem. Chapters works for me.. very close to my house. Send me an email at corwin at island dot net and we'll arrange something.

Damn i wish i knew that was selling at partsexpress i could've bought it there for much less money.
