Amplifier output..?

Question

I recently sent my 1000w amplifier for servicing and got a t-loaned 400w amplifier with the original 1000w system's speakers to cover my inconvenience. Here my doubt, both sound rather similar in bass and quality, does that means the speakers' power output is the one that manufacturer said is the power output of the system? hmm rather funny..

This is a HTIB therefore meaning my current amplifier's total power is stated as 1000w while the t-loaned set is rated 400w but is connected to speakers and subwoofer--> total rated 1000w.

Answer 1

I have no idea what your question is!

I have a feeling you are mixing up Peak ratings and RMS ratings. Also speaker wattage ratings refer to the maximum safe wattage to connect with a given impedance.

If it is a HTIB, what kind of sonic quality are you expecting??? You get what you pay for.

Here is some manditory reading material so you don't ask inane questions about silly cheepo systems.

Hi. Now let me get this right . You are using a 400 watt amplifier while your other amp is being serviced and you are using it with the speakers that are able to take 1000 watts.What type of amp is the one being serviced ?Stereo., 1000watts/channel or 500 watts/channel..1000Watts is not much louder than 400 watts (perceived loudness) 4,000 watts would be needed for 400 to sound twice as loud.So your speakers are working ok with the lower wattage is that correct ?
