Two modes of verification :)

First, it was suggested I measure the impedance from the blade socket to the negative speaker terminal, and if it was zero, it should work. It was in fact zero.
...

No, now that I know it should work, and will require no assembly on my part, and should fit in the small space I have available, I think I'll be OK. Thanks! :biggrin:

No, I didn't miss that point, I will turn off the current limiter :biggrin: I only had it on because I heard that these speakers can be hard on amps, but I will still leave the volume capped at -5dB...

I have acquired a BRAND NEW AI-1 cable, and it's terminations are both pin/blade. I hope it works! If not they do seem to have a decent demand.

Anyway, I don't know the technical operations behind...

Assuming that I can't get the AI-1 cable, are there instructions anywhere to make my own adapter?

Looking at this picture:...

Can't someone that has a copy just scan the pages and upload it?

Thanks... please let me know if you find it! Seems like something like that should be uploaded to this site! :biggrin:

My speakers are both pin/blade. Left speaker is 12003 and right is 11968. My receiver is set to 4ohm mode which is just a current limiter and I have the volume capped at -5dB. If I bridge them, I...

All right... thought that wouldn't work but it was worth a shot. Well, I am going to have these speakers for the foreseeable future. The receiver was very expensive, got it for $1500 used with a 5...

Get the Panasonic ST30. I know you're not interested in 3D; however, with the 2011 models (S30, ST30, GT30, VT30), you lose a lot more than just 3D support by going from ST30 to S30. For one, it...

The serial number for my 1Cs are 12003. Will that work with the AI-1?

Also I just thought of something else. These speakers will not work without a common ground. Typically, bridging two separate...

What is this AI-1 isolation transformer you speak of, how can I tell if my 1Cs would work with it, and where would I be able to get one?

You guys don't need to tell me a separate amp/preamp would...

Hi guys, I've got an Onkyo TX-NR5007 receiver with a pair of SDA-1C speakers. The receiver specs are here:

The receiver supports...

You mean a digital multimeter? Yeah I have one but I am not to great with it. I took a picture, are you able to tell me what to set the dial to in order to test for continuity, or if I even can?...

Ok thanks for the info. I really don't hear a difference at the 4 ohm setting, so I'll leave it for now. I have a second question. Does anybody know if the TX-NR5007 is common ground? On the back of...

Well now I've set it at the 4 ohm setting and it still sounds fine. I really don't notice much of a change, if anything.

So if I have it on the 6-16 ohm setting, there won't be any greater chance...

Thanks guys. Unfortunately I have absolutely zero room for another component, that's why I went for Onkyo's best receiver. If I had room and more money, I'd love a separate amp.

So are you guys...

Just out of curiosity why are people recommending 4 ohms when the speakers apparently are 6 ohms? Also these are old speakers... is there any chance the rubber surrounds on the drivers could become...

Hey guys I have a pair of SDA-1 speakers. They do not say A, B or C, but they look exactly like the SDA-1C speakers pictured here:
