I am using a pair of SDA 2B'swith the interconnecting cable.

The receiver shares a common ground, rated 110 watts per channel stereo.
On the back of the receiver, ther is a impedance switch for 4 or 8 ohms.
I know the speaker are rated 6 ohms.

What position should I select?
I chose 8 ohms.

Thanks.

    Yes, 8 ohm. By setting it to 4 ohm your just limiting the current the receiver puts out. Though the 2b's would sound way better with a separate amp over what a receiver can dish out.

    Yes I agree, I'm still searching for a comparable power amp to the 200 watt per channel Sansui I have now. I use it the power amp when the interconnecting cable as it is not being used. The Sansui Im using is not common ground amp.
