Ummm.... i have no idea what any of that means.

where it says "Output @ clipping - 5 Channels Driven*" and a number for each one is that how many watts it rilly is?

Yeah.

If you're running a receiver at a level where it's clipping, that's going to cause damage to your speakers.

Wattage isn't everything of course, but it goes to show you that there's little consistency of ratings across the board.

I don't know if you're familiar with computer powersupplies, but the same kind of thing applies over there.

So what dose clipping mean exsactly?

I didn't really mean that chart to be a buying guide if that's what it's sounding like.

I just wanted to give you some info about advertized vs actual specs. Pretty much all the models on that chart are out of date now, but it does kind of give you an idea of some companies that are more accurate about their ratings than others.

Onkyo, Denon, HK are some good brands to look at.

I guess this is more of a personal perception thing, but I think I would put
Pioneer and Yamaha kind of on a slightly lower level.

Personally I don't think I'd get a Sony, Kenwood, JVC except for a couple select models.

I hope I'm not offending anyone. This is just my personal view on the matters and it's a very general statement.

Im not useing it as a buying guide. I dident think that what compenys say the ratings are and what that rilly are would be so diffrent....

Ok, so your receiver is sending .... actually let me just see if I can find something... a picture is worth 1000 words.

See figure 1 and figure 2? When you ask your receiver to go really loud, if it runs out of power it ends up not being able to produce the signal and clips off the ends. Sending a signal like this to your speakers can damage them when they try to produce that signal.

Tweeters are most susceptible to damage from clipping.

Ahh i c.

So that means the higher the watts at clipping the better/louder correct?

 

[DLBlank]

One thing i cant get over is how small the r15's are... The speakers are only 5 1/4 10inch tall. I just cant see getting much out of those little things.

Higher wattage means you'll be able to give your speakers more power before the amp starts to clip, right.

The sensitivity is a good indication of how much sound you'll be able to get out of them.

Cabinet size helps more with getting low frequencies, but small speakers can really get loud.

So if bigger cabnet size helps low frequencies and i get that sub i guess it wont matter. Well what can i exspect out of this setup? window rattling? lol

You should be able to rattle windows if you want to.

A friend of mine has the AV-HTB set. He likes it. He regrets not bumping up to the SX-HTB set though.

If you can get a set of those for about $150 + shipping that's a good deal.

Haven't heard r15s actually so I don't have experience with them.

You'll get deeper bass from the bookshelf/sub combo. Good deal on those... pretty much half price of retail. If you want to get a pair of floorstanders then JBL would be a good way to go.

Yeah, that's a good one. Similar to something you'd get in a $400-ish Onkyo HTIB set.
