I gotta test a receiver real quick, would it be alright if i hooked up my computer speakers to them?

[erikiksaz]

I have the Microworks system, which runs on the normal +- bare speaker wires. Would it work if i were to plug these speakers into the unit just to test the functions? The receiver does have bass controls, so i could turn that down, since the there is a sub in the Microworks set to provide for the lows.

Depends on the resistance of the speakers.

 

[erikiksaz]

Shoot, don't know how i could that. It's probably the same ohm-age as most other computer speakers, no?

 

[Luden]

Just dont turn it up all the way and all should be well.

 

[Heisenberg]

Depends on how big a difference between the power output of the amp and power handling of the speakers, and how far up you turn the amp.

 

[erikiksaz]

Let's hope i don't blow anything. I'll keep the volume low.

Well, nothing happened. I think the receiver's a frikken lemon.

 

[isekii]

what kinda receiver is it?
also why not purchase one of those KLH speaker set for liek 50 bucks at circuit city.

those speakers are pretty decent for their price.

It was a vintage Marantz 2230 receiver. The SOB that sold it to me said it worked. And well...basically i'm screwed. Search for my threads under OT, i've explained why i'm screwed.
