I have a Concept 16.5 in the house now that I'd like to audition with my SDA2Bs, however with it's dual mono design I'm reluctant to use it with the SDAs' interconnect. I'd need to strap the negative speaker terminals and I don't want to foul up the receiver.

The schematic shows internal grounding for the two negative terminals, so I suspect it should be OK, however the capacitors in series with the grounded terminals make no sense to me (to the point of my suspecting a drawing error). See the second page of the drawing for the speaker outs.

Does any one here have any practical experience with the Concept 16.5 in use with SDAs?

Thanks

    I would say give it a try, starting at very low volumes and bring it slowly up to your mormal volume level. so long as the negative terminals are grounded together as you indicate there should be no troubles.
