I can't see what you are seeing (obviously) and in my brain is my old altec lansing computer 2.1 setup , so I went out and found this https://audiomods.datsunzgarage.us/promedia/ is this your system? If so, it does look like the "preamp" I was referring to is a separate unit below one of the sat

I just made a static measurement of the satellites, which are a hi and mid range setup. The Klipsch spec sheet show the sats as 4 ohm and the woofer at 6 ohms. There is no pre-amp in either satellite, but there is a crossover in them with a resistor, capacitor, and inductor. I didn't open up the

Here's what I've done so far. I'm using the following hookups. Signal is Analog RCA from the SB Classic to the Lepai. Klipsch satellites are RCA connected to the Lepai using its volume control. The SB is set to 100%. The Klipsch sub is 5.7 ohm and the each satellite is showing around 4.3 ohm. Th

would be to run the sb into the lipa (which will control the sub as intended) and try to run the "speaker out" of the lipa into the satellites, or, if you have another speaker(s) handy, just to test. Then control the volume from the lipa. Continuing to think, you might have three gain stages in

In the past I've made the mistake of assuming that more power equals more gain. I'm no expert, but my understanding is that although more power would be needed to drive an amplifier that has more gain, for an amplifier that has a certain gain, more power simply allows for less distortion. Too l

Could be the output capacitors have failed which causes volume loss. Easy DIY fix if you search on the Forum for instructions. Heuer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2543 View this thread: http://

I have a SB Classic hooked to a Klipsch Promedia 2.1 setup. This has provided good quality sound for a long time but the amp in the subwoofer burned up. This is typical failure mode for the Promedia system. Rather that replace/repair the Klipsch amp I thought to replace it with a Lepai LP210PA 2x3
