NAD with Mordaunt short 906i speakers

just testing out my new stereo again.
SORRY about the shaking, first I was try to hold the camera with one hand and move my chair and then the music was soo loud I started laughing...

The music was MUCH louder then it sounds, it overpowered the camera mic and it compensated by compressing it...
Song was Money for nothing by Dire Sraits.
Media player is Foobar2000
Soundsystem spec-
-Mordaunt short 906i speakers
-NAD325BEE integrated amp
-Gale symphony 400 speaker wire
-cambirdge audio premium Java interconnect

I also had my Logitech Z2300 system runnning in the background here at a lower level, (thats the dektop remote you see) But I had the sub woofer for that system turned right down.
System heavily upgraded since this video with new matching Sub, new DACs and interconnects...

im using a denon amp, it is quite powerful lol

@MrShoreman1 - hmm, think these speakers are rated at something like 150w RMS, However I use a NAD amp putting out just 50w RMS and 150w peaks. I think anything more would blow my speakers as they really get moving. tbh I think my tweeters are half gone too, they're no where near as vibrant as they once were. Hope you get your 908s repaired though!

[MrShoreman1]

got the 908s myself, just blown a tweeter though :/

[christopher4636]

@MrShoreman1 - very nice speakers, but how did you manage to blow the tweeter? What power amp you using for them?

[MrShoreman1]

@christopher4636 check my vids dude, i got wharfedales hooked up too, not loud because didnt know if sound would distort when recording through crap camera

[MrShoreman1]

my speakers cannot take more than a third of the amp volume without distorting :c

@christopher4636

i'm now waiting for the 905i center speaker to arive, than clean up my shit haha than il make a video

[christopher4636]

@Frietpan - a very nice setup you have their, perfect choice and arrangement of speakers too. I also personally prefer floor stranding speakers as fronts. Would be great to see a video of it!!

@christopher4636

now got a pair of 904i as fronts

a pair of aviano 1's and a new yamaha amp.

using my old sub saving for the ms sub and center.

but it already sounds so nice!

@Frietpan - ahh yes you don't want an amp with a fixed build in crossover as you could end up missing out huge bands of frequencies when you use speakers which also contain another passive crossover.
