Will these speakers handle the McIntosh 2205 amp &amp; C-33 pre amp (approx 150 amps per side)?

It depends on the ohms. These speakers are 8 ohms. If the amp is rated for 4 ohms, you will fry your speakers. If the amp is rated at 8 ohms, you should be fine. I have a pair of these speakers hooked up to an an amp thst puts out 125 watts @ 8 ohms per channel and they sound fantastic.

these Infinity speakers will handle 75 watts. I have an Onkyo at 65 per channel @8 ohms and the work wonderfully. It is hard to beat Infinity speakers. Good luck.

I'm not familiar with those speakers but since this amp is 120w and the speakers are 120w as well they'll work great. Just don't put the volume at max, just little by little. I have 2 90w monitors and it sounds great half volume. This amp came only with the power cord and no audio cable. I bought them here for like $3 dollars. Good luck

According to the stats, your alpine has a built in amp of 18w RMS / 50w peak per speaker. My head unit: Aiwa CDC-X227 has 22 w RMS/45 peak. I am running these in the back and 6'' round Polk db's in the front strait off my head unit and have had no distortion up to uncomfortable listening levels. These are 4'' round speakers so as long as you are not expecting these to "thump" *, you should have no problem running these without an additional amp. (*note: I'm not saying they don't have good bass, but they are not very big either)

No problem. If memory serves, these speakers will handle that power easily. I am running a Crown 1500 watt amp into them and daisy chaining them so effectively 4 ohms. These are great speakers, light weight and good sound.

Yes, they certainly will work. For the price these are well worth the cost. I will be using these on my 1969 sansui receiver 30 watts per channel. I have tried them on my newer receiver a technics with 75 watts per channnel and they work nice. I am going to add some polyfill acoustical materiel to dampen them a little but thats just me because I am always trying to improve things and not just speakers. They are not $1,000.00 speakers but for me they are just right. If you read reviews they will drive you crazy, everybody has their opinions, some are just too critical but I say the sound on these are very good for the price. I hope this helps a little.John D Yes, they certainly will work. For the price these are well worth the cost. I will be using these on my 1969 sansui receiver 30 watts per channel.

Yes, just take note of the power limits of these speakers. I have them only on a pioneer head (50x4 max) unit and they sound very loud as is.

YES. They worked great when I used a Pyle PCA1 amplifier ($28.26) that I purchased the same time as the speakers.

I would think that amp would work fine. It's on the lower end for power output, but not much below the hybrid tube amp I use....and they sound great for me. The speakers are rated for amps with output between 10 watts, and 125 watts.

Check the pre- amp output power level to be high enough for the minimum required input power level for the powered speakers. Should work.

They will work, but they won't produce a lot of sound without distortion. I wouldn't recommend that amplifier for use in a noisy environment with any speakers, so don't expect much if, for instance, you're thinking of installing them in a dump truck.

Not sure of the specification of your vintage receiver. But these speakers works with my 6 ohm output (sort of vintage as it is 15 years old now) 120 Watts per channel amplifier even if the impedance of these speakers is 8 ohms. In a nut shell if your vintage receiver is producing anywhere between 40 Watts to 120 watts , I THINK these speakers would please you. Worth a try but no guarantees.

These speakers will work fine -- unless you turn it up to the full 150 watts power level -- but that would be extremely loud. So, for normal listening level, this is not a problem.

Yes they will work admirably. These are the speakers in my setup with a Yamaha receiver...

Hi Kim Seung Mo,The Power requirements of these speakers is 120W and the Impedance is 8 ohms. Please connect these speakers to a receiver or amplifier. Thanks. >Joffrey

These speakers are perfect for your system . speakers have 150 watts each per chanel , yes they really work good for surround , high or wide and have great sound .

Yes, that is OK. Just make sure to not over power them. Remember, the total power in will be divided in HALF, going to each speaker, so even if the 15" speaker can handle more, the total max power output of your amp shouldn't exceed twice the rating of the 12" speaker.
