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)
Uh, wut? There are very few ways the output will remain constant with varying impedance and the fact that 'it's a digital amp' isn't inherently one of them. One way is by using output transformers (like a tube amp or a McIntosh) and I really can't think of any others.
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.
If you're going 50 yards to some of the speakers, you should be using a 70V amplifier. Screw stereo, send the full signal and make it reliable.
The output power @6 Ohms is immaterial when the speakers are so far away. Your problem will be with nearby lightning strikes, critters chewing the wires and water intrusion.
