My Denon x4100 req. a sep amp to get all 9 ch. Would this be good for Goldenear Triton 5's?

Yes, but in a similar way I started out with a onkyo and a separate crown 2100. It was good but the home receivers just don't have enough volume or dB gain. I have 2 crown amps and a art equalizer and most of all a art rack mixer. Setup is louder by 4 times as home av stuff. The amplifier is a winner but if it's not loud enough, get a mixer to drive the lines.

There are pre-outs on the back for all 11 channels. You connect the external amplifier using RCA cables (I recommend Blue Jeans Cables interconnects for cost/performance and you can have them made to the lengths you need), then go into Setup and under Speaker Setup, enable 11.1 playback. That should give you the discrete width channel output to the amplifier. You can run the other 9 channels directly off of the AVR. That said, given the power capabilities of most AVRs, I strongly recommend a good 3-channel amp to power the left, right and center channels, since they get the most sound. I know that Onkyo claims 135w+ per channel, but I promise you an external amp for those three channels will sound SO much better than just running them off the AVR alone. I'm using an Emotiva XPA-3 (which is fair quality gear on the relative cheap) to drive my towers and center and couldn't be happier with the results.

I am using one for my center channel in a 7.1 setup Works great for this and provides nice chrisp sound quality. I am very happy with this product.

I use mine as a center channel speaker with mixed bag surround system. It would be best to use some type of amp.

No problem. I use in a one-channel antique jukebox for the phono input. Very few of the modern ones have a phono input anymore and they need a pre-amp. This is a road-warrior amp, and I have used several of them for different projects over the years. One takes the output from my surround sound unit and powers speaker pairs all over the house. Another goo feature is that the off-on switch stays in the position you leave it and can be used in a switched power outlet of a master amp or anything else you want it to respond to. I keep coming back to this amp and have been very happy with them...especially the price and availability.

For the preamp you may want something with a bit less gain than a 12AX7. I keep a selection of 12AU7s, 12AT7s, 12AY7s etc. I have an RCA made metal can 6V6 in the power stage and its unbelievable. The dynamic range is huge.

Definitely. I have fosgate punch 6x9's and 6.5's running off the front and rear outputs and a JBL 12 sub running off the 5th channel. The amp pushes everything great. The bonus part is the remote base control. It let's me control the base from the sub without having to constantly change the settings on the amp or the equalizer on my head unit.

I'm no audio expert but should not be a problem. Even if this amp really outputs a 1/3 of it's rated power. The one we received works and sounds nice paired with 4 seismic audio artic 15 speakers 400 watts rms.

The specs for this amp indicate 40 watts of power for each channel....so I believe it would be within your speakers' parameter.

I looked for a Planet Audio 4000 Watt amp and found this, the AC4000.1D. They claim it makes 1,500 RMS, if that is the case, it will be enough to get them moving pretty good. I have a 2000 Watt soundstream on them, and it is pretty ridiculous. I think the amp you mentioned will work if it is something you already have, but if you are looking to get an amp for them, I would stay away from Planet Audio.

Budget wise connect all four speakers to channels 1 & 2 and bridge 3 & 4 for the sub. It would work, but as to get the best performance from your speakers and sub I would have gone with a slightly more powerful amp. If you gots the cash, buy mono block amp cause that makes a difference. I know this amp all too well. Connected things all different ways to test for perfromance.

Hi, I purchased this amp for a two channel configuration, and I am very happy with the results; it has much more power and more fidelity than an integrated receiver. I think that maybe you only have to configure your system to provide the same power level to all the speakers; if not, the front speakers will sound louder than the rest. Regards.

Plenty. Wattage is not a good measure, but the front channels are 250 RMS. Mine are driven with a mid-high-end Denon and they are crisp at high volumes.

One more thing to Norman Normal, you have not specified which amp you have. If you have a Denon, there is a menu option buried down deep where you can specify multi-channel or two-channel.

no it is not. there are in fact some vintage amps that used to be switchable. This is not one of those. I understand there may be some denon non-us models that might be.

Denon 1910. The audyssey on the new denons are the best @ $500.. set it and leave it alone.. Manual next to impossible to read but when u figure it out, WOW!!
