Has anyone used the S8 with Audioengine P4 passive speakers? If so, I'm trying to figure out how you interconnect the amp, P4s and S8?

If you want to run the S8 with passive speakers you will have to connect it to your pre amp or amplifier. So your amplifier would need to have an rca out that goes to the S8. What type of amplifier are you using to power the P4s?

I did try to connect two Fisher 8-ohm speakers from a rack system, 15 inch woofers to the B speaker output. At higher volume the over heat circut protection activates. I purchased two Infinity Multifan 3 AI-MPFA units. I also raised the receiver up one inch for better air flow. I have not turned up the volume yet. You might find this interesting.

I don't know about those specific devices, but I have found that this only works with one connected device at a time. Not a problem for me but others have found this limitation problematic. It is a fine amp but I also considered the lepai; chose this one for the variety of inputs. Thankfully I only use one of them.

i first of all am no sound engineer, nor electronics guru...all i can tell is what i did and what worked perfectly for me....i took output signal from xm radio...ran it thru a preamp...then the wa50 sys....split it to bose radio nearby...and remotely to bose radio two rooms away...my impression is it has nothing to do with speakers of any age...that is an amp issue...this only sends a signal...it drives nothing.

Mine sits in an 87 Mastercraft and runs to 4 Infinity marine speakers. Bluetooth works and sound quality is excellent. I've only used it a couple times, but so far no issues.

First of all I have a P400X4 so I'm not sure I can answer that but this is what I did. I ran two pairs of RCA cables from the head unit to the amp but my amp only powers two rear speakers and a Sub. Front speakers are powered by the head unit. Then I ran individual power, ground and the signal wire and it works fine. Hope that helps!

J. Michael Pisias Jr., Good evening. I just pulled up your question and I am willing to guessthat this amplifier is capable of driving 2, 4, 8, 12 ohm speakers as directed by the purchaser.The reason for my positive response, and I am driving Bose 301's and rebuilt Infinity 3000's, isthat any speaker set up is not a mix and match situation. Go with the speakers you have installedbut do not cross/mismatch the ohms; a quick check of each speaker will save you trouble down theroad. I believe that I am running, 12 total, 8 ohm speakers which I play at volume 50-60. My Jazzsounds terrific! J. Michael Pisias Jr., Good evening.

Hi Bryan I'm afraid I cannot answer your question regarding the S2 as I have the S4 and it intermittently seemed to work for me. When it did 'work' it produced awful audio static that I could do nothing to stop, which ruined my enjoyment of listening to the radio or music I was playing. I returned the cable to Amazon for a refund. I now use separate power and an audio cables to connect my S4 to my Phillips dock. It now works a treat.

I have been using it as an external cabinet for my Bugera V5 since that amp has such a small speaker and it sounds great. I would also let you know that I got a different sound using the thinner Monster speaker cable as opposed to the GLS speaker cable which is much thicker. I haven't used it in stereo yet but I suppose I could try something like your setup. If I do I'll pass on the info.Hope this wasn't a total waste of your time.

I wired them into my factory tweets. But honestly shop around. I used to have spl1's and loved them. These spl4's are garbage. No real clear high range. If you can find spl1's go for it. I've also had good luck with power acoustic tweets.

I ended not using amp, but power seems fine for typical announcement speakers. You need to E-mail Pyle at their web site, but considerations are how many Ohms are the speakers (typically 8 but some variation typically OK), and look up serial vs parallel hookup. Running all the + and - for each speaker to the same + or - jack seems the way to go. Try, before installing, put on one speaker, turn on. Put on second, turn on, etc. It's not like you can blow a speaker if you start with the volume low, and turn up. Also the best way to make sure all speakers and wires work before install. Make sure you use a good gague spool of wire, and that you get the connections good - loose conncections and damaged wires are hard to find after install. PS 50w for voice seems plenty! PPS if you get a Hummmmm it would would be problem with input or amp grounding problem.

Dear James, The SA-4 amplifier is made to run one pair of speakers. Are these 4 speakers you wish to run an independent system, or are you trying to run a second zone off of an existing system? That will help me greatly in recommending the right type of product. Regards, Eric Cohen World Wide Stereo

The SST8V1 has an mini-RCA headphone jack out put for external speakers and devices. If your soloist sound system has a RCA Mini-jack sound input then it should work

Jonathan, here is some information that might help320W @ 8 Ohms480W @ 4 Ohms700W or 480W Amp Only:¼" speaker outputjacks. Impedances Lower than 4 Ohms should not beused. Higher impedances such as 8 Ohms, 16 Ohms,or No Load are acceptable. One 4 Ohm, one 8 Ohm,or two 8 Ohm cabinets are okay. One 4 Ohm and one8 Ohm together is not recommended. The internalspeakers equal an 8 Ohm load. No damage willresult from operating the amplifier with the speakersdisconnected.

I wonder what your source component is and if possibly your converters are somehow not "playing nice" with the HiFiMan transducers.; I am into year 2 with mine and after 200 or so hours of break-in the mids and low end have opened up along with the soundstage but only positives have happened, nothing negative. (I am using an Oppo BDP-95 running via XLR to a Teac HA-501-B headphone amp. ALSO, it may be something is loose inside the cups that is resonating. I can honestly say other than not liking the way my cables attach, I can find very little to complain about regarding these cans. Good luck! Cheers! Marty G

They pair it with the sat speakers because any other speakers will drown it out. The sub cannot be heard when paired with atrium 8s. I kept the 8s and returned the sub.

Colin,I just tried the e18 with both the M7 and m8, and they worked flawlessly. I also tried on the Galaxy s5 and iPhone. It was immediately apparent that the new amp in the M8 does such an outstanding job with the audio as is; you could easily go without the Fiio. The improvement on the S5 and iPhone was significantly more noticeable.
