Re: [OT] Audio setup

["John Nye" <lists@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Guess I might be getting somewhere with a bit more research -:)

I can run 2 prs of 8ohm speakers in series from my amp as that will give a
total of 16ohm that my amp can handle.

But I cannot then use my volume controls on each pair of speakers.

What I need is impedance matched volume controls and run the speakers in
parallel.
Something like these http://www.hometech.com/audio/volume.html
from the States?

Someone please tell me if I am making headway or is this a load of
B........s

Apologies for the simplistic nature of this post to all you audiophiles out
there but I really do not
understand all this audio stuff - but I can learn:-)

I want to:
1. take an output from a sound card on a PC
2. feed it to a spare amp that I have (sony)
http://www.multimod.com/uk/shop/612-sony-ta-fe230-amplifier.html
3. Feed 2 sets of speakers and be able to turn off or control the volume on
each set.

In my box of bits I've acquired but never used - how familiar does that
sound -:)  - I Have a Vivanco audio switchboard that has 'overload
protection through an
automatic circuit breaker' and a couple of BTech volume controls
http://www.b-tech-int.com/BT936.html

But I'm a bit worried that I will blow the amp if I connect it up wrongly.

Can anyone give me some advice whether I can use the bits I have and how to
connect them.

TIA

John
