Amp size for Speaker Workshop

Ed LaFontaine · 22nd October 2004, 01:58 AM

I've gotten some real good advice from others, especially daatkins, for putting the Wallin jig, the mic pre-amp and amplifier into one enclosure. I'm going to get the remaining parts soon. I'd like to ask this question of a broader audience:

What is the least amplifier wattage I should equip myself with?
Thanks for your help.

Power is not really important, 10W would be plenty for testing T/S parameters and frequency response. I use the headphone out from an AudioSource Amp two. More important than power is flat frequency response.

You certainly don't want to put more than 2-3V into the inputs of your soundcard, unless you want to let out the magic smoke that makes it work.....
