Thought it was a decent deal and couldn't pass it up...

I will contact Classe if no one knows, but I thought I'd check here first to see if anyone has used it on SDA's to know if this older amp is common ground? ...thought I'd seen at least one member have one on here somewhere?

Thanks,
Troy

    This is a schematic I found of the amp, if it helps? ...I don't know how to read it.

    You click on this part (on the page):
    "Download >> To download the file, please, click here ! << Download"

    It opens a PDF file with multiple pages of diagrams.

    Even if it's not a common ground, could you not use an AI-1? I'm a newb at the SDA thing, but that's what I'm using.

    Here is Classe Audio's response:
    Dear Troy

    The Model 70 speaker output terminals have their ground connected to the chassis. If this is your definition of common ground, then the unit is common ground.

    I hope this information is helpful.

    I don't know if this answers my question or not (I think not)???

    You should be fine using the amp with Polk's SDA speakers. Enjoy!
