best box for external speakers

[redbenjoe]

my vote is the m70 -
PLENTY of power --
good deck and radio
--
hard to explain exactly...

but as soon as you guys hook some BIG bad speakers
to it -
then you will KNOW !!!

 

[Superduper]

Aren't you going to back that up with a detailed experience story? We want to know details!

 

[redbenjoe]

ok norm --if you insist --

i have the OLD --40 years old !!!
BIG -- made in usa -- KLH model # 20 FLOOR speakers --

known for their good sound and POOR efficiency

the m70 runs them LOUD -- with extreme DEEP BASS --
and with very little effort !!!

now -
like them apples ????????????????

Hi Ira-I may try out one of my M-70's on these new Sony speakers I got!! Should be interesting!
Have a great weekend-GB.

I would say the panny 100.. I have ran infinity rs6b on them with good luck.

 

[redbenjoe]

right brian --thats panny has a load of clean power

 

[floyd]

for me its the pc 55,it has power to spare and sounds good with sony apm speakers.

Your kidding me Floyd-I just picked up a pair of 300 apm's! I also have 2 PC-55's a JW & a C.
I was thinking of hooking one up in my bedroom to these speakers!
Have a good one-GB.

i have 2 matching pairs of the really old apm's with the original speaker stands ,the flat honeycomb diaphram woofers and tweeters are incredible sounding, just about as good as it gets.

my best boombox for external speakers is the fh215r.
30 watts rms per channel.

 

[LLopez]

I agree with JVC Floyd, I have the PC-550JW and the original speakers sux for bass, But when I connected a pair of Pioneer 903 and these 903 have a 15 inch woofer and the JVC drove the Pioneers like butter

Don't know the answer to this yet but will enjoy finding out.

I have a pair of Cerwin Vega VE-12's that can cause subsidence for a mile around!

 

[Eddy]

I didn't try this (yet)
Very interesting topic though.
I don't think i can make my boxes sound any better.
The only speakers i own are a pair of crap JBL speakers :annoyed:

What is the output in watts of the boxes you guys are mentioning? Most of mine are 10 watts or less and don't power larger sets of speakers well. Also, are your boomers designed to use 8 ohm floor speakers, also?

If there are units out there that power low-efficiency, high-wattage, 8 ohm floor speakers as extention speakers, then I have some new grails to get!

 

[monchito]

i used iras coby to hook up some speakers just to try out it has good sound

Well, though a great topic...the question really is...

"What are the best speakers to run externally from a boombox?"

The key is the efficiency of the speakers themselves. If you would like I can get into the specifics.

...what type of speaker connectors do you use to connect to the external speaker plug?? All my speakers have dual (positive/negative) exposed wires...

 

[redbenjoe]

radio shack sells the connectors --
i forget their model #
but you will see then on their wall display

I think I know what you mean...high-efficiency, 4 to 8 ohm speakers with a compatable wattage rating would be ideal. Right ?
