Hi
I am currently building up a Hifi, for christmas a got a pair of Monitor BR2 speakers. At the moment I am looking for an amp, I have found a Sansui AU-217 II for sale (I have seen others but this seems to be very highly rated in other threads) but it says on the back to use 8 ohm speakers and the br2s are only 6 ohms. Is it a good idea to use these together? could it damage either the amp or speakers? I am no expert so a simple answer would be much appreciated. Also does the AU-217 II have a built in preamp so I can use my turntable without having to buy a seperate preamp?
by the way the other amps I had seen were:
- Technics SU-V3
- DENON PMA-255
are these good in comparison to the AU-217 II, do they have a preamp?
thanks for any help in advance, tom
