Hey Hey!
So be gentle. Im a newbie... I recently decided to make the move into some quality equipment. I inherited 1 SA-8500 II and a Pioneer PL-520 turntable. I had it paired with some cheapo JVC tower speakers. I started reading about how great the Polk Monitor speakers were. So I purchased a set of Polk Monitor 10A and some of the Polk Monitor 5A. Hooked them up to the system and basically just melted into my couch in my music room. I was blown away! Here lies the problem. They are 6 ohm speakers, and I'm afraid that having them both connected to the amp may have fried it. Due to its age I am ready to do a complete overhaul on it anyway. I also just purchased a SA-8500 II on that auction site and it should be here thursday. My master plan is to use one amp for each set of speakers. So I need both amps.
My question is this: (finally right) how do i connect the amps so there is a master volume. I do not want to have to adjust each amplifier. Thanks for all the help!
