Guys,
Some great response here. I keep learning. I'll keep it backed off. I've got an integrated amp that's adequte power for the VA's but I really like the tone of the old SX series receivers and my integrated has no tone controls. You get what you get.
I used to have the SX-1250 with JBL L300's and liked the ability to adjust the tone, especially at low litening levels. I suppose I could buy up into the SX-850 or higher and use just the pre amp section? Maybe there's a pre that's more modern that will do what I'm looking for and not cost thousands? I had said that I wouln't bore you with why I wanted to hear this old receiver at home in the first place, but that's why.
Thank you again for your feedback and the ohmformation.
Mike
