I'll see if I can find the gain rating of the Denon and compare it to the ratings of the others. I think the Klipsch speakers are efficient, 94 dB. At least higher than anything else in the category. Thanks for the response.
Need more volume, cheap. Any advice?
Just had installed three pairs of Klipsch 5800-CDT-C ceiling speakers in three different rooms and got a two-zone Denon receiver (AVR 1910, 90 wpc). The kitchen and living room are on one zone, using 5 channel stereo, and the tv room is zone 2. These are the only speakers in my setup. The problem is I was hoping for deafening volume when needed (rock and dance) in the LR/Kitchen and can only get close to that when I turn the receiver to 100%. So, I was thinking of changing the LR/Kitchen to zone 2 because I can send the zone 2 output to a second amplifier. I don't need perfect sound, but don't want distortion and don't want to blow the speakers. Can anyone recommend a four channel amp that would provide more/better power than the Denon receiver? Something I could easily get used for $300-500 would be perfect, if such a thing exists. Though not ideal, I could also probably get rid of the Denon and start over, but would still need inputs for TV, ipod, DVD, etc. Much appreciated.
