What amplifiers are folks using with these? Would the Lepai LP-2020A be enough?

I use the Yamaha RX-V373 5.1-Channel AV Receiver unit. It delivers powerful sound to 4 of these speakers. The Lepai LP-2020A delivers 20 watts in to 2 channels RMS. The speakers can handle 120 watts each. I guess my advice is, If your going to spend the money for these speakers get an amp that will power them. Maybe something on the low end like the Sherwood RX-4109 200W.Good luck and happy listening!

Deck power will do fine, however if you really want them to sing you will want a dedicated amplifier!

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 don't have any experience with any Lepai amp, but, I am very happy with the Dayton!

MANY people match them with the lepai or other class d amps. I think the lepai lacks a bit of power to really make the b652s sing, but it works. Just consider upgrading the power supply for the lepai. like 12v 5 amps is better than what comes with it.The turntable works with the set up since it has an internal pre-amp for the cartridge. If I were to recommend a small class d amp for the b652s, I would consider something a bit more substantial like a tda7498 or (best) a tpa3116d2 based amplifier. AND, the b652s are okay out of the box, but if you add a few easy modifications to them they sound MUCH better. See, for example, the discussion here: http://techtalk.parts-express.com/showthread.php?240461-B652-Modifications-Upgrades

I would think so but there is a difference between phono level and the typical line level you'd get from most other audio sources. If the preamp in your turntable gets the output level to line level, it should work. Also check out the Lepai LP-2020A+. It's only $20, has a very sturdy chasis (the DTA-1 absolutely does not), better speaker connectors (DTA-1's are absolutely horrible - the springs kept popping out on mine) and very similar sound and power level. Be advised, my DTA-1 died after about 8 months - no power.... useless. I think Dayton has other class T amps that are better quality but I can't recommend the DTA-1.

Yes, it'll work fine. If you want the best sound out of them you'll need an amp.

You will need an amplifier with this turntable. Complement the speakers to the amplifier and your needs: quality and cost should be your first considerations.

I used the Pyle PFA200 60-Watt Class-T Hi-Fi Audio Amplifier after trying some other amps like the Lepai 2020 (which was not nearly as loud and blew out on the 31st day). I wired this amp in directly to my truck and bridged the Pyle PSP8 speaker (positive of one channel, negative of the other). I only have the amps volume turned half way up or so and it is WAY louder than it was off just my straight CB or off the Lepai. This combo was exactly what I was looking for.

Yes, they each have an 8 watt amplifier and the sound is excellent. They should work out fine for studio work, but wouldn't have enough power for performance situations with a live band.

Anything that can deliver at least half of the recommended power which is 110 watts rms per speaker. I currently give them 50 watts rms and they sound great and are loud enough for me. Make sure the amplifier is CEA 2006 compliant. All of the information can be found on Crutchfield or sonic electronix. I recommend Alpine Mrv-F300 or something similar as it will be slightly cheaper than the PDX-V9 if your on a budget. If you can splurge a little more go for it and get a PDX-V9. Both amplifiers are a great buy in my opinion

Literally any mono amp will do. If it's going to be paired up with this, then the cheaper, the better. I had mine hooked up to a really nice Alpine, it didn't help any.

I have got a Belva 2000 Watt amp that works greatly! Its Also a new brand but also not expensive.

I would consider a bigger amp because of the 2 12's and you need more power. If you bring to 2ohm load then you can power with any 2 channel or mono with sufficient power. Check the power rating of the drivers and will help in your decision. Hope this helps.

This amp should be more than enough. I have 2 polk db 12 on mine and my friend has 2 p3d2-12 on his.

I believe the LP2020A is a better amp. It is a Class-T amplifier, whereas the LP-808 does not appear to be. I have both but have not had the chance to compare them side-by-side with the same inputs and outputs. That said, I will stick with the Class-T amps for similar installations going forward. Hope this helps....

You'll still need a proper amp. The output from this device isn't enough to power speakers alone.
