Trade My CRS+ for good quality 2 Channel Amp

tophatjohnny

These babies are sweet and modded to accept higher quality cables as interconnect or run Blade/Blade if you want. When this mod was done they were also Dynamated. Tight bass and amazing SDA sound. Perfect condition. I have pics in my laptop (son has that in school now,) so PM me if you want pics.
Looking for a good quality 2 channel amp that delivers at least 200WPC. Let me know what ya got. Thanks

Might want to list the ohm rating you want 200 wpc at (4 ohm, 8 ohm) and what ohm ratings you want it to have (down to 2 ohms, ect).

Thanks. Not too sure. I think my Onk SR805 is 8ohm, so something that will be compatible with that. I am just throwing this out here as I still have no idea where I'd even place an amp if I were to get one in the bedroom. I was told that 165 wpc is no big difference from the 130 wpc the onk in delivering to me SDA 1B's, so just setting it out there. What ya got??

I have seen and heard these. VGC and all drivers work as should. Have not seen the guts though. Johnny, you are gonna need some pics and as Enders mentioned, maybe a little more specific on amp requirements. :cheesygrin:

Thanks for the kind words and like my post started out, I will send pics yo interested parties or drag em over here when I get my computer back. This was only an afterthought when I decoded to actually sell these babies. When I see ya I'll be happy to let ya see the guts and later today I will have my laptop back. Then I can post pics. I think I have been pretty forthright in what kind of amp I'd consider, and doubt anyone here has an extra one just laying around that jusr so happens to want a set of CRS+'s but one never knows??? Am I right about that?? Again, thanks and yes they are very good.

Why not just sell them and put the money towards an amp?

Kind of what I just said if you read my last entry. Really no big deal, but thanks for your concern!

The impedance (ohm) compatibility would be based upon what speakers you intend to use with the 2-ch amp.

The amp would have to work with the Onkyo TX SR805 and the speakers I have are the SDA 1B's. Actually I am fine with what I hear, just open to a boost in what I hear, and if someone would like a very nice set of CRS+'s and has something that would work..cool. If not cool. It's all good in my hood!:cool:

TX-805 has pre-outs so any amp should work.
The only bad thing about pre-out from a receiver is you cannot hook L/R speakers to the receiver as pre-out is controlled by receiver's volume. So either you have to un-hook L/R speakers from the receiver or use external speaker switch box and turn it off as you may want to use the receiver to power a set of speakers for HT and use pre-out to amp for another set for music.

However, if that receiver allows disabling front speakers when you use pre-out, it'll be okay.

Thanks man. This set up is only for the SDA 1B's and an external amp is really such an after thought I now wonder why I posted this. The speakers are for sale and doubt I'd buy an amp, so which ever comes first (chicken or egg) is probably how this one will play out. Or the +'s will just sit idol for some time. We shall see, we shall!! By the sea shore!

I'd also consider a nice vintage receiver that put out a lotta power to make my SDA 1B's really dance. Not holding my breath on that one either, just setting it out there!

Check your garages/basements/toolsheds everybody, I sense that a pair of 1Bs are gonna be on the trade/sale block any minute now! :cheesygrin:

I think I've got an old, very sharp, ice auger (for drilling holes thru ice for ice fishing) that I'd consider putting up for those 1Bs! Keep it in a warm garage or ice fishin' shack and it'll sing. Give it high-octane gasoline and it'll dance!

The 1B's are here to stay











for at least another week!!

Serious though, I may start fishing here if it's gets cold enough!!
