Would this amplifier be a smart choice to drivePSB Imagine X1T, or do you see a better combination for those speakers? Thank you very much in advance

These are made-for-each-other. You don't need a 200-watt amp to drive ported speakers with 5/4" woofers!Dick Moulding from Speairt Sound

Thanks for the question. The NAD D 7050 is a great sounding amplifier, and would work well to power the X1T Tower Speakers. However, the X1T speakers recommend using an amplifier that outputs 50-200 watts per channel and the D 7050 is towards the bottom end of the recommended power. This means that the D 7050 unit will sound great with these speakers, but it may have difficulties filling larger rooms with the desired volume. Overall, the pairing of the D7050 and the X1T speakers would still sound excellent, but factors such as room size and desired listening volume will have to be considered before making a purchase decision.

I used this two channel (NU6000DSP) amp to power my Seismic Audio mains and subs and they are similar to the Behringer speakers you mentioned. The four channel version (NU4-6000) would also be a good choice to power your speakers. I would opt for the DSP version of the NU4 if you choose to get that. Either amp will work fine.

It will be fine. It's actually more than you need. Assuming you have a true 1100 watt rms amplifier, and correct wire sizes , clean connections , these drivers are only rated at 400 rms I think. So if your only running one be cautious on how much gain you use. Just remember it's distortion that kills drivers not to much power. Good luck

I have used a midle of the road pioneer and yamaha recever to power mine without an ext amp. They work fine that way, aprox 100 wt per chanel. Mine are used as front chanels and work great in 7.1 system. Hope this has helped and need anything else let me know.

Let me add one other thing. Kicker under rates there amps. You will get a bench test card with yours. It will tell you the real power of the amp. Mine is a 1500w, but benched at 1723w. To much power can cause distortion and blow your speakers even if you keep it turned down. Too little and you get bad sound and overdrive your amp. If your subs are rated at 750w @ 2 Ohms and you have two then 1500w is what you want. So keep that in mind. Also remember you want your amp to always do the work for you. So keep the base on your head unit at 0. Then mess around with the EQ on the head unit and the frequency on the amp. Gain can be your enemy if you have really good pre-amps. So you shouldn't have to turn it up a lot. My recommendation if your not experienced is once everything is installed take it to a place that does it all the time and have them fine tune it.

I didn't purchase the 6x9's. The speakers I purchased were only replacements for 13yr old blown out factory speakers in my old p/u truck. I'm not much of a car audio expert but if you're driving 2 amplified subs without any "speaker" amplification, you're missing out on a lot of sound. Amping your speakers will not give much more bass but will really make a difference in your overall sound quality. I for one don't care how good a system sounds outside of a vehicle cabin. It's all about the inside for me. As far as an amp, stick with your well known names. You'll pay a little more but low noise values and amp efficiency all equate better sound at the speaker as well as a long life.

I'd stick with the same. Some amplifiers can operate "unsafely" I.e. overheating or crappy sound, if they can't produce the right impedance per whatever ohm each speaker has. I'd start from ground up if you're wanting bigger better sound

Eric this is a pre-amplifier. It doesnt put out any power to drive your speakers. You need to pair this unit with an external power amplifier. If your on a budget, I would recommend Emotiva amplifiers. I personally own one and its been running amazing, a big difference from receivers with built in amps.

I have tried a dynaco St120 clone (60 watts) and it worked great. I currently use a M125 tube amp with 120 watts and that works perfect. Plenty of power to drive these speakers.

I'm no expert but I recommend Pioneer's 1300W amp. It will sound amazing with that!

The PSB's are 8ohm and 90db sensitivity speakers. The Marantz will have no problem driving them. Pair it with a good source transport, solid speakers and you will have an excellent system.

I haven't done extensive testing. I use this with bookshelf speakers and it sounds significantly better than other digital amps I've tried with this same setup.

Hi I used it with really good results with a couple of small "JBL Control One" speakers and they did work fine, even though their sensitivity is on the lower side at just 87dB/W/m. Some speakers with higher sensitivity would even give you more volume. I think this little baby is capable of driving to a good level a small system if you are not unrealistic with your expectations. I myself have moved on to a "NAD D3020" but that is another ball park. But I am not getting rid of the TP30, I do like it.

Hi Tyrus, I think the amp is more than sufficient. Please start at low volume otherwise it may damage the speakers. I have used this amp with a couple of speakers between 300W to 500W and it performs well. Thanks and I hope this helps Fernando

Hello Adam K and thank you for your inquiry! That's an easy one! Match this setup with the PSB Alpha B1's and you'll be rocking for the money! We're here to help so please let us know if you have any additional questions! Thanks again, Scott G and the rest of the ListenUP team 1.877.744.1179

Budget wise connect all four speakers to channels 1 & 2 and bridge 3 & 4 for the sub. It would work, but as to get the best performance from your speakers and sub I would have gone with a slightly more powerful amp. If you gots the cash, buy mono block amp cause that makes a difference. I know this amp all too well. Connected things all different ways to test for perfromance.

Greg think but it's not the amp it's the box that really makes or break these speakers for me. I have been doing a few different. I put them in a car sub box and they sounded ok with a 300 watt amp but I think a 600 watt amp would be ok as well bit if I had a 600 watt amp I would let you know for sure what they sounded like. They are good speakers for the price I just know yet if I would recommend them to any one. I put subs and amps in people's car as a side job and I still haven't even told anyone I have them yet because I'm not satisfied yet.
