Just picked one up, along with an old dual turntable. I was going to hook to some 1c's to test, but didn't know if it was ok. I searched and found an old thread about proton, but didn't address common ground status.

    Easy enough to check it yourself if you've got an ohmmeter. Power off, and check for zero or very-near-zero ohms between the negative/minus speaker terminals.

    Can't say for sure on the d940 receiver model, but I had Proton D1200 power amp hooked up to SDA 2A speakers for several years, and they worked just fine. Do what bmbguy said, just to be on the safe side though.

    It's a receiver, it's common ground.
