it kind of reminds me of some old macintosh amps that i used when i was a rock & roll nut in the 60's(no distortion)
from www.bestbuy.com
the newest model i just bought has the controls on the back of the unit as opposed to the top.the flaw that met my sub's demise- there are open air circulation grates on the top back of the amplifer
from www.amazon.com
this is great, except when actually watching a movie because it shuts of within 5 mins if it does not receive a low bass signal from the amps, so during dialogue it sleeps in low power and then has a

i am driving them with a relatively high-quality amplifier (nad c-340) and can't imagine that there is a better speaker to be found in the sub-$50 price range!
from www.amazon.com
note: i haven't tried the speakers with a different amp, but it's highly unlikely that that is the cause of the lack of bass response.
from www.amazon.com
however, since rca hardy does anything with boombox's or mini shelf system anymore i just gave up until one day my dad brought home a sony fm receivers/amplifier.
from www.amazon.com
we were needing a speaker upgrade once we aquired a significantly higher powered amplifier.
from www.amazon.com
i was looking for a set of cheap bookshelf speakers to attach to my computer and decided to focus on buying a nice amp and sound card while getting by with cheap speakers until later.

Sony SA-W3800

it is also rated to handle up to only 200 watts max of power/peak performance, so it is possible to blow the speaker coils and/or built-in amp if you expect to use this at extreme loud volumes for
from www.amazon.com
my understanding of the built in amp is that it is a 200w peak and 100w rms although for that amount of power it seems to do much more than i would expect.
from www.amazon.com
this is a great sub, but the external amp does take up space (4") and is very ugly, but who looks behind the sub when they come in your home anyway?
from www.amazon.com
the casing on the amp is cheap thin plastic, but that's not much of an issue.
from www.amazon.com
the other thing i found substandard was the amplifier housing.

i have these speakers connected to my aged, but ever powerful, 500 watt power amp along with a matching tuner and pre-amp.

my amp pushes out 300w so these are perfect as front speakers.

and the amp is more than powerful enough, and i even have it turned to around the 60% level.
from www.amazon.com
however, remember that this is a speaker system only, and needs to be driven by a separate receiver/amplifier unit.
from www.amazon.com
in conjunction with a decent tuner/amplifier, all you need for great surround sound is this inexpensive grouping of speakers.
from www.amazon.com
i had never push up the volume more than -10db on my amp.

i installed the latest set with a rotel amp, and i'll put this system up against a bose cube system any day.

consider setting up your a/v with front and surround speakers set to "large" - that works great with my sony amp.

cons: there's one minor cons, the subwoofer will have a small explosion sounding like when you turn your amp on.

what's great about it:?value what's not so great:?basic speakers only "with only an 8" driver for the bass it can be a little disappointing without a powerful enough amp.

the 150 watt amp really makes this sub punch.

sub rated at 188w and the infinity with 8" sub is far more powerful in a larger room, when compared with my older speakers with 12" subs it is about equal when they are pushed on an old 200w/ch amp.

i also like the fact that you can run your front left and right surround speakers from the built in amp on the sub, it lets the sub make the bass instead of the surround speakers.

i still only run the amp gain at 25% and its plenty.

the klipsch subs with the bash amplifiers are amazing!
