Chane A1rx-c Speaker (Single Speaker)

Oct 21, 2014

Concerning amplifiers, the A1rx-c is a true 8 ohm load, and rates at 85dB at 1W and 1M. It's an easy load - easier than most in the category - but with the way its built it can take some power too.
The SplitGap woofers use completely underhung voice coils, which means lots of thermal heat sinking from the surrounding copper and steel (in addition to the very long, linear excursion limit). The tweeter is also much more robust than usual.
We find the A1rx-c gets up and going with an amplifier as small as 20W (ours is PP triode with regulated stages) or 40W if it's high current transistor amp. If the amp rates close to double the peak power into 4 ohms as its 8 ohm rating, it's got good current reserve and even 40W runs the A1rx-c well. In more conventional AVRs, a good 80W+ design is fine.
The ideal realistic amplifier is probably the 40W - 65W class, 2-channel, with good current reserves. Basically run them not unlike how you'd run any 5.25" stand monitor of very good quality.

JonLaneI have the A5 and the A2 so I ordered 1 pair of these for surround and one for a friend. I love my other arx/chane speakers so I would highly recommend them . I use them in my home theater for music and movies. They are powered by a Denon X4000.
