Questions about my setup

[Rullknufs]

Hey guys!

I have so many questions about my setup so maybe it's best to create a thread regarding my whole setup, and not only the subs or amplifiers or whatever.

Well, i'll try to explain the amplifier part.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

The idea is do let the Reckhorn S-1 filter the signal to my Harman Kardon HK3490 amplifier to power the subs. And then from sat-out from the S-1 to something like a tube amplifier to power my Mar-Kel70 (ofc high-passed at 80hz or something to play loud enough).


Here are my other threads:

And then there's another question. How much rockwool should i put in my Mar-Kel70 speakers? I have access to 90mm and 45mm thick rockwool.


And then the biggest question i think... What amplifier should i use to power my Mar-Kel70? I wont need more than 20w, so anything more than 20w would be "wasted money" so to say. I don't need a tube amp but afaik it gives best sound per money spent and the wattage is usually low but still enough for me.

I've been looking at the NuForce Icon amplifier.

But i'm a little confused on how i change the volume. Is it possible to fix the volume to a specific point and control all using my HK3490 remote control?
And will the HK use the signal from the computer or the signal from the S-1?
