lostonetr Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 I don't know much on these units. Friend has them already, and he was asking me bout hooking em up. I just didn't want to just say "yes go for it" and find out I did something to mess up the receiver. Receiver: Sansui 9090DB Speakers: JBL Northridge E30 6-Inch Speakers From what I found on the net regarding the sansui, it's Rated at 125 watts RMS per channel into 8 ohms. And for the speaker, I found Maximum recommended amp power: 125 watts Continuous power handling: 70 watts Peak power handling: 280 watts Nominal speaker impedance: 8 ohms Sensitivity/efficiency: 88 dB I see the max recommended 125 W, and the 8 ohm nominal match up. But then what's the continuous 70watts for? Anything I should be concerned about if I were to help him hook the stuff up? If he wants to try bi-wiring. The speakers got 5 binding posts each, and the amp itself uses the spring clips. It's ok to have 2 of the bare wires running into the same spring clip right (i.e. Right_speaker_cable1-black1 + Right_speaker_cable2-black2 into the receiver's spring clip for right_black) ? Also should he be worried about needing to get the capacitors swapped? Or whatever part it is on older equipment that needs to get looked at.

Also should he be worried about needing to get the capacitors swapped? Or whatever part it is on older equipment that needs to get looked at. If it has alot of hum (60 or 120 Hz), it may be in need of having the PSU electrolytics replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostonetr Posted September 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Got a question bout channel imbalance. setup: some random source, output --> RCA cable --> Aux in of receiver The left's projecting slightly more sound compared to the right according to the monitors on the receiver... A range of 0.05 to 0.2 dB He mentioned the difference not really being audible. Is that range of difference normal/within acceptable standards for this unit? And for the bass controls, "Bass: 300Hz, Defeat, 150Hz" He was playing around with it, and some of them muted the sound. Is it supposed to do that? I think it's something related to phono preamp stuff, but I don't know jack on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 the human ear can't hear differences of less than a decibel, you're fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
