Topic: Mix and Match Power Amps?

[Lancito]

Is it okay to mix and match power amps? Example : Parasound for 5 channels and Emotiva for the 4 channels used as overhead speakers (Atmos). Parasound more powerful than the Emotiva for the ceiling speakers. Thanks.

Yes sir puedeng mix and match. Just use the beefier amp sa LCR.

I guess for HT use it should be ok. For music, mostly we only use 2-channels anyway. Liking that Atmos plan. Hope to see that in the gallery soon

Thanks for the replies, pdvd friends!

Follow up question, dapat ba same power rating kahit ibang brand ng amplifiers?

Not necessary sir, you can use lower power for surround and effect speakers. Your LCR channels if possible to have same rating. This way you can use matching center to LR which is highly recommended for timbre matching.

not really, but same gain is better, pero meron namang volume controls yan so covered ka na rin...

Ideally pareho, since your loudest volume would be dictated by the weakest amplifier.
