Hi All
I have a freshly restored and recapped (Shout out to Arnel Bautista for the amazing resto job) Sansui 5000X. I have a set of Sony ULM SS-7330 which are 6 ohm and a set of JBL LX44 which are 8 ohm. The 5000X manual says to use A+B both should be at least 8 ohm. Can I reliably run these in A+B if I want? I did for a bit and it sounded fine but I didn't drive them very loud. I know this brings the total load a little below 4 ohm. Just wanting to get the opinions of ones wiser and more experienced than me in the vintage realm. I definitely do not want to hurt the amp or speakers.
Thanks
Evan
