Home Amplifier FAQs


Integrated amp vs. power amp — which is right for me?


An integrated amplifier’s core functions are to drive passive hi-fi speakers and toggle input media sources.


Some integrated amps may go beyond the call of duty by offering such features as an onboard DAC (digital-to-analog converter), an RIAA phono input, or even an HDMI input or two. This varies from model to model, but for 95% of models on the market, the base functions remain the same.


By contrast, a home audio power amplifier forgoes the selector section to give advanced users total control of every element in their audio chains. This may require the addition of a dedicated preamplifier.


What's the difference between an integrated amp and A/V receiver?


Think of an A/V receiver as an integrated amp that’s tailored for video. An A/V receiver typically does all the jobs of an integrated amplifier and more, adding such possible features as an AM/FM tuner, built-in media streamers, onboard calibration tools, and expanded I/O for video and surround setups.


What should I look for when choosing an amplifier for speakers?


Matching the performance of your amplifier to the specs of your speakers is essential to getting the best sound out of your home theater and hi-fi setup. Here are some specs to double-check before you commit:


  • Power rating — Ensure your amplifier has enough output (wattage) for your listening environment and speaker configuration. Too many watts is rarely an issue, but short-changing yourself and driving your amp too hard can introduce clipping, potentially sending distorted signals into your speakers and damaging your drivers.
  • Impedance — Impedance matching between your amp and speakers optimizes performance and minimizes damage.
  • Inputs and outputs — RCA, binding post, or spring-loaded terminal: which input types do your passive hi-fi bookshelf speakers use? Take a moment to confirm that your new home amplifier supports these connections, as well as any analog or digital outs required by the rest of your setup.
  • Additional features — Is an onboard DAC or Bluetooth connection essential to your dream home audio setup? How about auto standby, multi-zone support, or remote control? You can easily verify these specs and more on product pages at Sweetwater.com
