Dec 26, 2001 5:58 PM | | Hello,
Does anyone know if you can run 2 pair of speakers at the same time with the mcintosh mc 2105 amp ?
I understand that it has 100w per channel.Is this enough power to run 2 pair of KLH model 5 speakers which are fairly inefficient.
Thanks

The KLH 5 was an 8 ohm speaker (12" 3 way, 4 drivers-two midranges.) The 2105 will provide plenty of power. This should make for an excellent sound system. |

This amp will handle about anything that can be thrown at it and come out on top. I've an acquaintance running 2 sets of Klipsch Heresy II (4 ohms) in parrellel; hence 2 ohms and it doesn't get warmer than mine with any of my 16, 8 or 4 ohm speakers sets hooked to it. |

If you haven't already you can make some short jumpers with spades to fit the blocks on the amp.(at least 12 guage) I did this on a similar amp and hooked up three sets of cables to each post using banana plugs. Mac didn't give you much room in the old days. |
