Background :I want to ensure the technical specs of a speaker, distributed audio amp and AVR are all suitable for each other.
We are looking at using the new Sonance IS8 Invisable speakers.
Sonance IS8 :
[Link: sonance.com] (please note there are a few speakers on that page so please only refer to the IS8 column)
The distributed audio zones will be powered by a Savant SIPA125 amp :
[Link: store.savant.com]A 5.1 surround sound zone (a dual purpose living / TV area) is proposed to a Denon AVR X2700 with the same speakers. (the sub will be a dedicated sub and sub amp) :
[Link: denon.com]The speakers state :Power Handling (RMS) 160W @ 6 ohms
The Savant Amp states : 125WPC at 8 Ohm (although ive been told the Savant amp is a digital amp so there’s no power change when using a 6-ohm speaker. 4, 6 or 8 Ohms will still be 125W)
The Denon AVR states :Power Output (6 ohm, 1 kHz, 1% 1ch Drive) - 150 W
Power Output (6 ohm, 1 kHz, 0.7% 2ch Drive) - 125 W
Question :
- Are the above amplifiers a good fit to use these IS8 speakers ?
- Is 14 AWG speaker cable suitable to run between these amps and the IS8 speakers. The max cable runs a c. 50 yards.
