Hi Group,
Sorry if my question is a bit "lame" for your group but I'm more
expert with PC related problems.
So what I need enlightened in is that my 15yo son has his existing
Cambridge Audio A1v2 amp and has (in the past ..now blown !!) been working
fine with a pair of standard old 30w rms Pioneer spreakers.
He's now went out after Xmas and spent just over £120 on A pair of Eltax
Symphony 8.3 speakers that have had decent reviews within their
price bracket.
The probem is when he connects the speakers and turns the volume up above
half-way (ok I know it pretty loud.. but he's a teenager (o; ) the speakers
cut out and stutter ... I don't mean distorted and loud but actually
stopping and starting every 1/4 second or so.
I've put the speakers on my kenwwod amp (100rms p/c) and they seem to
perform as you would expect at all volumes.
So we've come to the conclusion that his amp (30w) is not powerful enough
for these new speakers and is in some way malfunctioning.
I'm out of my depth with this one as I've never been aware of this type of
problem before !

ANY advice or confirmation on my conclusion would be greatly appreciated
as my son is now pretty gutted that he may have to wait for
another year to save up for another more powerful amp when up until now he's
been really happy with it.

Cheers

Ian
