matt 寫:Did you try to push Center speaker? how is the sound?
I have not tried to use Parasound A23 (200W @4 ohm per channel) to push the centre speaker M&K S150.
At present, the job is handled by Yamaha AX-2500 (190W @4 ohm). The performance is still satisfactory.
In fact, my next upgrade for the front speakers will be self powered series from M&K.
Since they are already on their way to my home,
I am not preparing to spend effort trying the A23 to push the M&K S150 centre now.
But naturally, using A23 Power Amp as single channel or mono-block to push M&K S150 should surely be better than Yamaha AV Amp.
However, Parasound recommends when the A23 is used as mono-block,
the speaker should be of min. 8 ohm (400W @8 ohm) but S150 is of 4 ohm only.
M&K S150 will be retired soon and will be replaced by his big brother.
