Yeah yeah, I know. (I am planning on hooking up one of my squeezeboxen, however). ;-) > What makes you say this? Can you not hear any output? > did you try and the amp blew up and smoked? No sound from the in-wall speakers when connected to the 5.1 theater system (even fast-forwarded to a nice car-chase scene with lots of explosions). When I connect those same in-wall speakers to a crusty old stereo, they sound fine (to my decidedly non-audiophile ears). No magic smoke has escaped so far. > Speaker impedance was really, really important with tube amps. > And it is important if you are putting lots of power into the > speakers, as all speaker impedance numbers are "nominal" and > many speakers go way below their nominal rating at specific > frequencies.

Yeah, I knew that my in-wall speakers would be safe from blowing, but they just don't seem to get any sound from the new dvd player. Which is fine, because, as I said, the new dvd player just isn't going to fit anyway. > I think you need a bit more background on home theater stuff.
