Threshold Sa3.9e

Hello, is it possible to have the manual of this fantastic amp?
I am particularly worried about the possibility of driving the 3.9e from my Aleph P1.7 preamp in balanced mode, because I have read that the xlr input impedance of the power amp is only 600 ohm while in the P1.7 manual it is recommended to keep the master volume in the position of least attenuation (where it has the highest output impedance!).
I can't find anything on the web........
Thanks,
Stefano

This is what I feared, even if the Aleph manual explains (confusingly to me) that, with proper adjustments of the gain knobs and the master volume, a very low output impedance can be obtained.
Thanks,

Stefano

You can connect via XLR but flip the switch on the back panel of the 3.9e to RCA. It will work (as if using the higher input impedance on the 3.9e). But I always thought it was not a good idea. I know others that have changed the internal resistor at the inputs to change the value from 600 Ohms.
