they would have to be, yes. with a great big "but"
Out of the box, the speakers on the left and right channels are wired as such to share a "ground" IE negative connection... this would be incompatible with most amps to just pull the speaker wires off the transformer taps and plug into another amp.
off the top of my head i can't think of a real easy way to proceed with hooking up those speakers in the cabinet without actually opening up a machine and going through the wiring... i think the main issue is the crossover... but again i'd have to go through it and find out.
going back to your original comment... you said it sounds blown...but only on SOME tracks? what did you mean by this? what kind of CD's are they? are they burned discs? are they mp3's converted back to cd format? are they cd clones? are they original discs?
maybe you have just a badly ripped cd?
Original CDs. Distortion is "hit and miss." That's part of the reason why I'm guessing the channel is fried.
Using original factory CDs, some play great. Others distort. On some occasions, some CDs that sounded distorted ("fuzzy") on the ONE channel sound fine. On other occasions, some CDs that sounded fine, distort (but only on the right side).
While I'm trying to sort it out (and before I have to spend more $$$ bringing in a local expert or taking my amp to a place capable of rebuilding it again), could you (or anyone else following this thread), share the optimal internal and external speaker hookup to the taps inside your box or a typical Rowe CD100 box?
I've moved the tap wires around so much (keeping an eye on the LED overload meter), I've lost track of where they should be placed.
Finally, I think this amp delivers 125W per channel. Do you (or anyone following) know if Rowe or another manufacturer makes an amp with more power?
Thanks again for the assist!
