Bunno77 Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 looks indeed like a good thing [emoji4] https://hometheaterreview.com/rotel-rap-1580-surround-amplified-processor-reviewed/ now this is what i call a power stage in an AVR [emoji4] looks not far off their stand alone power amps inside [emoji4] and note only tries to do 7 channels and at a good honest 100wpc rather than the inflatorama power specs of some other brands ! [emoji3] I was very impressed when I heard it.Still put primare and theta above but they either don't have atmos or are pretty expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapitalK Posted November 23, 2017 Author Share Posted November 23, 2017 Hi All, Many thanks to all who contributed I think i'm heading towards the Anthem MRX1120 with my old Anthem MCA50 power amp and Sony TA-P9000ES pre/amp for the 5.1 channel. Hopefully this is the right setup to drive the Krix system. Although i'm still open for suggestions... Cheers Ken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've gone the old pioneer route Rob using class D techniques for efficiency by the look Advanced Hybrid Digital Amplifier Design Modern Design Meets Legendary Performance. Integra amplifier designs have always been known for delivering voluminous loads of current via massive, oversized power supply sections -providing precise speaker control and dynamics. The DRX-R1 combines this legendary performance with today’s ultra-efficient digital output stages, proprietary filtering technologies, and oversized low pass filter coils- resulting in stunning audio clarity, accuracy and musicality- across the entire audio output range.

OK, that makes sense, but still pretty skinny for grunt even with 90+% efficiency. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powerav Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Another happy user. "Hello. I just bought the drx-r1 and I'll will just say it is a beast. Especially at higher volume levels it gets crazy clean ,def outshines my previous 80.3 which I thought would be hard to do. The accuEQ works absolutely fine,no worries there" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerav Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 "Unlike the specs in some rival receivers, all of the DRX-R1’s amplifier channels are claimed to produce 140W into 8 ohms. Granted, this isn’t an all-channels-driven spec, but Integra’s amp design looks robust, with power output rated into 4 ohms and 40 amps of instantaneous current. There’s even a dynamic power rating of 320W at 3 ohms, which shows that, at least on paper, there are oodles of power on tap." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 If I were serious , with those nice Australian made Krix Loudspeakers, would use a separate processor to drive a nice rack of Aussie made Power Amplifiers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intergra DRX-R1 & Anthem MCA 5.1 power Amp 2. Yamaha CX-A5100 & MX-A5000 combo 3. Anthem MRX 11.2 & Anthem MCA 5.1 power Amp Would appreciate if someone could provide some advise on the above or something else. Also, i'm still undecided on the subs too...

CapitalK Posted March 1, 2018 Author Share Posted March 1, 2018 Hi Serpeant, Just got the keys to the house 2 weeks ago. It will take some time until i have the beast setup/hooked up with the KRIX speakers. Will keep you posted! Cheers K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
