In Reply to: Re: Pre amp: How do I . . . . posted by TopPop on March 28, 2007 at 19:50:31:
I guess I complicated it. The real question is this, how do I get the same signal (from cd player) into three seperate amplifiers "Aux Input"? When I split the signal from the cd player to the three amps, the three amps have the same combined volume as when I just send the signal to a single amp and have the other two off! Is there such thing as a pre-amp with multiple outputs?
Follow Ups:
There are still some gaps in the story.Are these three amps driving three sets of speakers? In the same room?
Loading down the CDP's output can potentially roll off the top end, but not necessarily drop gain such that the amps could not be fully driven.

Yes, each amp is driving 2 speakers in the same room (6 total in the same room). By way of explanation; The "room" in this case is the top floor of a barn. The room measures 22' x 35'. My teen's have partys there and have requested "extra volume".
I have Klipsch LaScalas. If you get those and use the 250 which is an amp I once had BTW, you will have no problems at all injuring your kid's hearing. I had them up to 105-110 Db with little complaint from the amp, lots of room left on the volume knob.
Those speakers are used in Night Clubs and other Pro venues, in fact you can find some that had the carry handles built in with metal reinforced corners. If you use a moderately high powered SS amp, the 15" woofer wakes up and makes bass. You simply don't hear much bass using a low powered tube amp. The volume is there but it's all midrange.
Another suggestion is to do a pair of Bass column sub woofers as a DIY and use as many woofers as you want ala Genesis bigger speakers and Infinity IRS. You will need an external crossover for that to be optimal, kids love bass. E-mail me my La Scalas have running shoes.
