Hey all.
I have just got one of my Exodus 261s operational. I still have to finish the cabinet for #2. I still have yet to get a good amp for the pair, so in my anxiousness to test them out I hooked them up to an old Sansui 441 Stereo receiver.
My first results were less than stellar... . The highs seemed a little dull and the sound stage seemed smallish (I know it'll be better with 2).
Now instantly I figured that it was the amp, as it is low low grade. My question is, can the amp really have that much effect on the quality of the music, and not just the volume?
I KNOW it should sound better, as they get excellent reviews, and Adire is an A1 company :T, but I don't have access to a hifi amp right now.
Could there be other issues that may be causing my problems? I am pretty sure the crossover wiring is correct.
Am I worrying to much? (probably)
Thanks
