Would this amp be powerful enough for a pair of B&W 685s if I'm using them as desktop speakers (near-field)?

Technically, yes, the topping amp can power those speakers. But, the sound quality is not going to be there due to sheer lack of power. You can increase the volume, and it will get louder, but the distortion level of the amp will be high. I am using it too power 2 Dayton 652's for my computer setup, and it works just fine. ymmv

Just looking at the specs of your speakers I can say that this amp easily powerful enough to drive those speakers.

Very nicely, today's electronics come packaged in some pretty small boxes. I hope you are watching movies or listening to music.

Yes the amp will provide enough power to give you a good quality sound for your speakers and sub.

I'll preface that I'm no pro-audio expert, but based on how much this powers my 1 sub, I think this will be plenty of power for 2 subs, and still leave you 4 channels for the rest of your speakers. I would recommend shooting a call to your local best buy and just ask the geek squad car audio reps...they helped me even though I didn't buy it from them...they are actually the ones who recommended this amp versus one of they sell.

Thank you for asking. The powered outputs on this are stable down to 4 ohms. As long as the impedance on your speakers is high enough the amp will be ok. If the speakers are rated to the right power they will be safe as well. Have a great day!

Sure will... I love mine, and they've worked great hooked to two different amps. You just can't turn them up very far without it being too loud to be in the same room with them

You haven't provided all the necessary information to receive a worthy answer. We understand you want to power a pair of dual 15" speakers at 8 Ohms, but that's all we know. Complete your research by finding out the power handling ability and capacity of the speakers. Then, look again at the outputs that the amp is capable of. Your answer is then looking right back at you.I assure you this: Relying upon a bunch of people you do not know for answers to questions like this is going to come at a cost. You have no idea that they know anything about which they speak.

oh god no. you would ruin your speakers by underpowering them. This amp is for your mid and high speakers. not subwoofers. 6.5"s amd 6x9s are what it is meant for. it does'nt come with a wiring kit, it does come with the line level input adapter. This is for a powered stereo, not a subwoofer setup

This amp is only 75 watts at a 4 ohm load. I'm not sure how big your speakers are; however, I would guess that you want something a little bigger. If you can afford it I would recommend an Adcom amp.

You should be okay with that. Just be sure not to overpower it or you will blow the sub. I've used underpowered amps on mine and they sound amazing!

Yes, that amp should be good. Enclosure is everything, tho I built mine in a single ported enclosure (factory specs)and it hits hard with a 150 watt rms punch amp.

in my opinion, absolutely. it's a great amp capable of pushing more of its stated power than most other brands. make sure to bridge your subs down to 2 ohms for better power usage

I did some brief reading about how to match amps and speakers, and my understanding is that the amp's power rating should be less than that of the speakers--around half the peak rated wattage. But as well as power you have to make sure the impedance of the speakers matches the output impedance range of the amp. If you're running two 8 ohm speakers in parallel on each channel, that's actually 4 ohms, so check those numbers. We use this Grace BTAR122 in conjunction with two 80 watt Polk Atrium 4 speakers and it sounds fantastic.

I have a couple of studio headphones, and the Nuforce MMP-Black powers them very nicely. It is a very adequate amp for that purpose.Glenn

It will not be too much. However, you will need to be sure the amp is 2000w rms not peak. Each speaker is a 1500 watt peak 400 rms. Make sure your amp can output enough to support both.

The short answer, yes. If you look at the spec sheet for this amp you will see that it IS rated to run a pair of 2 ohm speakers in stereo. With a 2 ohm load the amp is rated for 150w x 2 RMS. This exceeds the ratings on your speakers. If you just turn the gain down a bit and keep them at reasonable levels you should be fine.

Probably not if the amp doesn't have a dedicated subwoofer output (most amplifiers don't, some integrated amps do). In that case, you might consider a Yamaha SW215 which is a bit quicker, has better specs, but isn't as nice looking. It does have a variety of input/output terminals for connecting it to an amplifier and the instruction manual is clearly written.

It's not too much, in my opinion, i think it will be perfect. You could connect ONE of these or have TWO 750.1 amplifiers, but i think it will take too much wiring. Just remember that speakers need their proper box (i would suggest a BIG vented box) and that they also need to be properly connected. And for the amp, just remember not to set the gain all high, but at least 3/4 of the way, make sure you also have a big fared capacitor (you don't want to drain out the car battery) or a second battery, and also make sure it has the proper gauge wires (for the battery, ground, and as well for the speakers) and a fuse. Thanks
