This seems to be a nice multipurpose speaker http://www.jblpro.com/catalog/general/Product.aspx?PId=195&MId=5
The controll one spec says 87dB at 1w sensitivity but it is a 4 ohm speaker . To me it means two things . The amp should be really stable at 4ohm or preferably a bit lower , the simplest chip amps may not cut it . If you want to compare sensitivity with 8 ohm speaker it really is 84dB ( the spec is really 2,83 volts at the terminals and this gives 2w in 4 ohm speaker ). So this speaker is a bit power hungry . So I would go for a normal class a/b amp or very stable class D amp of >50 per channel 8 ohm if it is of good design it would give around 100w 4 ohm . The amp does not need to have volume control . You could use fixed atenuators -10db at the Touch outputs then use the Touch's own volume control . But preferable the amp has some kind of gain control , this is sadly uncommon in consumer amps but as you already ok with pro speakers :) ( control 1 is a pro speaker ) the utilitarian design of prosumer stuff is not a problem . Would not the local music store ( not the hifi store ) have some sort of cheaper prosumer amp for hobby musicians that sports gain controlls ( usually at the back ,they are meant to be set once ). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98115 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
