pro amp to pre amp/av receiver, urgent help needed

Well then, you obviously don't need us.

Let the "off forum" people guide you. They apparantly know more than we do.

Symon, you need to ignore the power rating of your speakers, in simple terms it means the max power that the speaker can handle without potentially damaging the speakers , it has nothing to do with the power needed to play the speaker.

Your 80 wpc receiver will easily drive those speakers to very loud ear damaging levels. I have a pair of Monitor Audio S1's that are rated at 150watts and I run a 25wpc amp and they play plenty loud. There is another spec called Sensivity that relates more to how loud a speaker plays but you should ignore that number for now as it will only confuse you more. You receiver is plenty powerful.

By the way, I checked on the sensitivity of your speakers and they are rated at 96dB which is very efficient. A 10wpc amp will play those at very loud levels without any problem. In fact you would be able to drive those with a 2wpc amp. For a frame of reference, my Monitor Audio's are rated at 90dB which is considered good. 88 and below generally is considered inefficient and usually will require a more robust amp.

So you are good to go with no worries!

Sorry you had a bad experience here. You have to understand or try to that some people here have answered the same questions from others for years... some for over a decade. People breeze in ask questions that they might have figured out for themselves with perhaps a little effort... perhaps not, and some people have little patience even when giving answers. Please don't everyone on here by this small sample. I hope you now have all the information you need.

We can explain it to you but we can't understand it for you. It took two threads to get one simple point across to you, and I'm still not sure it actually sunk in.

Those links that were posted, had you read them, should have said it all, particularly for one who claims to be as intelligent as you claim.

And, while you're licking your wounds and feling sorry for yourself, please note that I actually pointed you in the right direction to answer your question here, but apparantly you didn't even bother to check it out and realize it. That would invlove some reading on your part, wouldn't it?

i didnt have or see the manual till you posted up the link, no problem anyway ive managed to sort it okay
