    But you loose the power from the reciever? Wanting to bi amp. Reciever running the high end and external amplifier running the low end. Don't look possible with this device. Once you run your speaker wire out from your reciever? Or could you use the B channel for this device and still get sound out of the A channel. I have questions. Anybody got some out there?

    • @Audiolympian
      @Audiolympian 3 дні тому

      No you don’t lose the power from the receiver. It’s just redirected. As far as bi-amping, I think your best bet is using b channels. I haven’t used b channels in a while the only issue that might be there is if your going for true Atmos or Dolby, the b channels might shut off or not allow for true surround sound. But I think it’s an interesting concept you got there. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching

    • @Audiolympian
      @Audiolympian Місяць тому

      Good question. A preamp is basically a glorified source selector, like cd player, dvd player, streamer things like that. Those sources plug into the preamp, the preamp plugs into the amplifier then to the speakers. So contrary to the name a preamp does not amplify hence the “pre” but it does control volume. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching

    • @Audiolympian

      No, because the inputs are for other sources and devices like dvd, cd players and turntables. Which means the audio from the source goes in the receiver and out to the speakers. Most of the time the sound goes out to the speaker terminals unless a receiver has speaker preouts. Then you can have the ability to connect an external amp. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching

    I know this is an older video. Anyone interested can build one of these and make it less bulky. Take a short length of speaker wire. Connect the positive lead to one leg of a 1w 3.9k ohm resistor and another short wire from the other leg to the positive connection of a female RCA connector (solder or screw terminal style). Do the same for the negative lead except using a 1/2w 430 ohm resistor with the other leg going to the negative terminal of the same RCA connector. 2 resistors (1 per lead) of differing resistance. Solder the speaker wires to the resistors. Then, you can shrink tube the resistors and joints or wrap with electrical tape or tessa tape. Plug in your rca cable to the diy connector. Connect the exposed speaker lead to your speaker output of your receiver. No need for a bulky plate. You could make 5 or 7 of these for %10 or so combined. I had to pause the video to read the resistors and see how they are connected. Wire > resistor > rca connector. The parts are cheap on Amazon or other sites online. I hope this helps.

    If your receiver has a headphone jack, you can use that as a pre-out. So, the cable you'd need, is a phono plug (headphone plug) to RCA. It's not "clean" looking but, it 100% works. You just need to remember to disable your selected speakers on the receiver.

      Hey ya. I'm just about to set mine up for the first time and do you have to toggle between HDMI Video+Audio on and off to switch the sound between the TV speakers and the stereo?

      @@jefffan171 I think it depends on how you have it set up. I actually use mine for only music. I have an hdmi connected to a monitor to see the cd contents but that’s it. So I’m not sure if you have to toggle it but possibly.
