Wow, great responses, thanks! Sot I guess the first step is look for a short. I suspect you are right, that is the culprit. Next, if I have to buy, I'm in the $500 range. Rgcards, I'm out in the boonies of Montana, but thanks for the offer, much appreciated. And to quote an old song, the sun will rise again!!!
Integrated amp shutting down
I had to downsize after the divorce and lost my beloved system, BWN803/Classe CA 300 amp, and Classe pre-amp. I picked up a cheap set of Vandersteen 2cis and am trying to run them with a Harmon Kardon AVR 500, which is really a surround sound processor with 80watts. The thing cuts out and shuts down with any volume. I suppose that means, the speakers are trying to pull more power than it can supply?
If that is so, wonder if you guys could recommend a good, inexpensive integrated amp, ss or tubes?
thanks,
