Reddit mentions of Lepy LP-2020A Power Amplifier Stereo HiFi Digital Audio Car Auto Motor Amp

I have one of these and leave it on all the time. Low power, amazing sound.

Can't do much with $50 tbh. This would work for 80ish

would be a far better option

No but I've heard good things about This Lepy from Amazon for $10 cheaper.

Might have to go separate.

I have a cheap DAC/Headphone amp to act as my "sound card" and it has a 1/4 inch headphone output. On the back it has outputs for speakers and I have that going into my speaker amp, the Lepy LP-2020A.

It seems to work pretty good, one knob for heaphones, one for speakers.

I've got one of these running with an old pair of speakers from a Sony stereo and it's decent for the price.

You can add a sub also if you'd like but this setup will blow anything away for the price

so any old cd/dvd player will work? all i need to do is plug in the RCA cables into the amp?


The Amp

The Speakers

wire

You need a connect for the setup you want.

I suggest emulating a Sonos until you can or want to go for a Connect setup.

Go for a chromecast audio. Buy one of these for your Amp:

https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00V9AYMZ4/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_awdb_pd4jyb6441J5F

Get a couple of decent in ceiling, outdoor speakers - mono price has some decent ones.

Someday you can replace the chromecast and amp with a connect amp.

The thing on the left with the blue ring? That's a Lepy amp that drives the two speakers on either side of the monitor.

Firstly, thank you very much for the detailed response!
I have definitely confused a receiver for an amplifier, thanks for clearing that up.

Here's what my plan is:

• I have a Technics SLQ200 with a receiver, and I will be moving it to another room.
  
  
• My new table is a Sony PS212 - that will be going in the old room with existing set up (receiver and speakers).
  
  
• The new room will have my Technics TT (where I can enjoy my records more often), but there isn't the room for a receiver like the one I have already.
  
  Looking at what I linked, I don't believe its a pre-amp at all (though I said it was), it seems to be a 'mini amplifier'
  
  Would this then be sufficient for my Technics TT? I would only have to plug the input into this mini-amp and it would function like the existing receiver that I am looking to down size?
  
  Thanks again!

In simple terms this is what you will need.

Speakers -> Use Speaker Wire -> Amp

You will need an amp because the speakers are passive and need power (which your tv can't provide). I listed the usual bang for your buck recommendations. In addition it's up to you whether you want to get banana plugs or not, personally it's just easier to stick the wire straight into the speaker. The MB42 has 5-way binding posts that can accept banana plugs, spades, bare straight wire, and bare looped wire.

Now the easy part. You just have to connect your Amp to your tv. You said you only have optical or aux (no rca?). The amp I linked has the option to use either RCA or Aux input. My personal reccomendation is to use the RCA wire over the Aux, if you can.

And for price vs performance, you can't get too much better than the Micca MB42s. It's always highly recommended as one of the best bang for your buck speakers at that price level.

My cabinet has this as an amp

https://www.amazon.ca/Version-Upgraded-Lepy-LP-2020A-Amplifier/dp/B00V9AYMZ4

And these speakers

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B001RNNX8K/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I couldn't find computer speakers that I wanted to use, so the amp and speaker system works better than I had expected it to. Just a little bit of soldering and speaker wire needed and its a nice looking more polished in a way design.

I don't know a ton about the echo but it appears to have an aux output.

These little amps are popular in projects like yours.

An 1/8 to RCA cable would connect your echo to the amp, and the speaker would wire directly to the amp using whatever existing speaker wires were there.

You're not likely to get great sound out of the existing speaker but I'd leave it in place until you get something that works and then decide on an upgrade based on your needs.

Get the MB42X not MB42 - they have a crossover. Looking on Amazon Canada - you will need more Budget - $200 or so.

Cheapest option I see:

> Fluance

Interesting. I just found these and think I can pair it with this and a handful of speaker wire.

? and cheap. IN Canada.

What you think?

I just did 5 Chromecast Audios and 4 Class D Amps. Does the job pretty well and I grouped the 2 main floor ones and ones in the master bedroom and master bath. All the wiring goes back to the basement (Picture)

This is the one I bought in 2013 on Amazon.ca

any recommendations for the DSP crossover. also would this amp work? have that one just laying around my house

Whats the best/most affordable amp/receiver that Supports NAS playback and bluetooth? Possibly 5.1 as well?

If I wanted to go the cheap route, would these power a pair of Klipsch B-10's? (https://www.amazon.ca/Lepy-LP-2020A-Class-T-Amplifier-Supply/dp/B00V9AYMZ4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1482938694&sr=8-1&keywords=amplifier)

Lepai

Edit: I'm currently using this to power a pair of KEF Q100's and they go pretty loud (obviously room size matters) - mine is approximately 300-400 sft.

I'm looking to cobble together an inexpensive 2.0 setup for my desk. I've purchased an amp, a Lepy 2020a, and now I'm looking around for a set of inexpensive bookshelf speakers. My budget for speakers is $100 Canadian and preferably as far under as I can go without wasting money, and my only real sources to purchase a set from is Amazon or Best Buy Canada. My options right now are the PrimeCables 6.5" bookshelf speakers ($50, rebranded Dayton Audio B650 non-air??), the Micca COVO-S($50), and at a fair stretch, the Micca MB42 non-x($90).

​

Both the COVO-S and the PrimeCables sets are $50, and I can't seem to find many reviews to base my decision on. The Miccas at least have a hyper-critical review from NO Audiophile and a highly lauded review by ZeosPantera, but I can't find much on the PrimeCables speakers/ I've read that the manufacturing process of the B650s has been degraded however, and I'm worried that's been carried over to these rebrands. Would either of these options be worth the $50, or should I really just wait a bit longer and grab the MB42s? Is there something else I haven't even considered or come across? I have looked around my little city for second-hand gear, but there's really nothing interesting (some really old Paradigm V2 Titans with busted speakers...).

​

I will be using whichever speakers I get for games and music. I'm not upgrading any existing speakers, I'm simply finally getting around to picking a set up. I'm used to headphones, Sennheiser 449 to be exact. I don't have any experience in "audiophile"-level hardware. That's why I'm here, hopefully somebody who knows a bit more can guide me down the right path.

Hello there, trying to hook up an RCA sub (RT2250B) to a Sony STR-DH500 receiver.

The only sub output is RCA, and the only sub's I have use regular speaker wire.

I have hooked up my sub to the regular surround outputs for now (increased wear on the other speakers?), but I would like to know how I can hook it in properly.

I have some RCA cords from an old speaker system that I stripped to try and connect it, but it didn't work. I suppose there is to much resistance in those wires?

I think I need something like this, but that is basically what I made with the old systems RCA cables.

Thanks!

P.S.- Completely open to suggestions on upgrades, like getting this Lepy 2020A, I suppose I can hook up my current speakers to this also?

I understand Edifier comes with amplifier unlike others. I do like that towers can go on the floor instead of taking space on the desk.

How good is this amplifier paired with the Dayton towers?

https://www.amazon.ca/Lepy-LP-2020A-Class-D-Amplifier-Supply/dp/B00V9AYMZ4/

Use a headphone amp. You provided no information with how your headset is connected, the kind of headset it is, the kind of computer you're using, etc.

The only suggestion is an external headphones amp that you could probably find cheaper depending on location.

So I'm using this setup for my PC. The source is a HT Omega Claro card (not sure if it matters). I found the speakers in the basement and the amp I got from my wife's old room at her parents.

The JBL Control 1's don't have any serial number or identifying marks on it but it's from the 1980s. I'm just going to assume they're regular JBL Control 1's?

The amp is I took from this http://www.usa.philips.com/c-p/MCM704D_37/-/specifications which I managed to find the service manual for so I found out it uses a "TDA7265" chip in the amp.

I set it up and it with the JBL's in place of the stock speakers and it sounds okay. Bass response is a bit lacking in the lower end, but I read it's normal for these speakers.

I should mention that the amp can't run alone, it needs the CD deck attached with a control cable since the "brains" of it seems to be in the CD deck.

Would I benefit at all in buying something like this? https://www.amazon.ca/Lepy-LP-2020A-Class-T-Amplifier-Supply/dp/B00V9AYMZ4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1484854702&sr=8-1&keywords=amplifier Other than the obvious space savings.

I also wish I could run the phillips amp unit alone, even the power cord is attached directly to the amp. But it seems like the amp doesn't turn on without the control unit.

Edifier R1280T

never personally heard them but based on appearance and specs, as well as reviews, they'll be significantly better than those Klipsch speakers

personally, if I had $100, I'd get Micca MB42s and a Lepy amp

my current setup I purchased used and have had zero issues, so I'd say check Kijiji if you're willing to take a 'risk'
