You will have to change the output connector to one that will fit into
the SB.
The power supply will also accept different power cables, so you can
try different types to see if they make any changes in the

I'm not sure, but I think so. In between glitches, the sound seemed
o.k.. I can't imagine it would be degraded while it was playing. It

Make sure both are level balanced. Close is not good enough for a valid

By level balanced you mean db levels with a sp meter, correct?

Can I go home now?
Just what I was looking for. Even better would be any recommendations
for something already terminated with the right power connector. I can
plug stuff in, but that's the limit to my tech ability.
Solder iron + me = bad things.

My opinion is that you've got the purchasing decisions in the wrong
order. Start with the speakers and pick the amp according to that. You
may even decide the very best speakers within your budget are active
speakers which means you will not need a separate amp (or more channels

Right, it was early and I should have said level matched. I send a 3K
