FAQ

Product FAQ: Q: What amplifiers work best with the HDP6? A: The HDP6 is a very efficient speaker and designed to work well with digital hybrid amplifiers (Class-D, Class-T, etc.) as well as most stereo receivers, integrated amps, tube amplifiers, and whole-house music systems such as the Sonos ZonePlayer 120. The HDP6s have an amplifier power rating of 10-150W per channel, so any amplifier that outputs that power should work great! Q: Will these work with my Yamaha RS 202 amplifier? A: Yes, they will. They are rated at 4 ohm speakers but can work with 6 and 8 ohm systems. Q: Is the measured height 10" tall? A: No, it is not. The HDP6's measure 11.75" in height. The dimensions for the speaker are as follows: 11.75″H x 7.25″W x 10″D. Q: How well would these work in a large room? A: Great! I have them in a bookshelf in a large room and the sound quality is fantastic for bookshelf speakers. Very impressed with the quality and price! Q: I received a pair today but without manual and papers of any kind! Suppose to be that way?? A: Yes, it is supposed to be that way. Our passive speakers do not come with a manual or any other literature. We didn't feel the need to include documentation because there's no information about how to use them that would be unique to the HDP6. The information included with the amplifier you choose to connect to would adequately explain how to set up speakers. Q: How many speakers come in this? I keep receiving just one speaker. A: This product comes with two speakers. If you received only one speaker, please contact the seller or Amazon customer service for assistance. Q: What is the THD (total harmonic distortion) of the internal amplifier? A: The HDP6 speakers are a passive set of speakers, therefore they do not have a built-in amplifier. For our HD6's (that DO have a built-in amplifier), the THD+N is <0.05% at all power settings. Q: Is the walnut speaker made out of actual wood? A: Yes, it is made of real wood veneer. Q: Can I use your N22 amplifier with the HDP6? A: Yes, you can. However, we would recommend using the speakers with an amplifier that can provide more power to the speakers than the N22 can provide.
