Some power amp questions?

Toast_Master · 18th July 2006, 05:05 AM

Im gonna buy a power amp from ebay and it claims it does 200 watts rms at 8 ohms with fr of 10hz - 50khz -1,.....ok its got the needed inputs that I need and it has 2 seperate volumes, (left and and right I assume) but i have questions

Can I directly plug in my speakers like a normal amp as it is an amp?

What does a stereo preamp do? ( I know it goes before main power amp to raise the signal, but is there a need for one, tell me all the advantages pls)

and do I need one?

Hi, you can hook up your speakers like any power or amplifier. All you need is a preamp or amplifier with preamp out. Since there's volume control, you can hook up your cd player or any sources directly in the input of your power amplifier. BTW , what kind of power amp.

The amp is off ebay and it is an "Biema" brand
