The Focals are a top shelf line. Fantastic potential. I'm sure either Sansui will drive the impedance load just fine, but am less certain that either will get the utmost from their resolution potential. The Focals are next level good and worthy of some serious front end gear at some point. Regardless, this is a nice starting point, so by all means hook them up and enjoy.
speakers for classic receiver
Hello, I need some help matching speakers with two Sansui receivers: the 881 and the g 9000. Would the Focal Aria 936, flr standing speakers be too much stress on those receivers? I was informed that 8ohm would be best. However, since i'm not familiar with the technical aspects of speakers , sensitivity and ohms< I need assistance. The Aria specs state they have a nominal impedance of 8ohm but a minimum low of 2.8ohm. That min. low impedance is confusing. In short, are these speakers a good match?I dont play music loudly at all and not for long periods. My room size is approx. 15 x14 x8. Both Sansui models were fully serviced ( recapped, aligned, cleaned). Thanks for any help and information.
