SANSUI RZ-3500 Receiver

[bi0hazard]

Hello,

I got SANSUI RZ-3500 Receiver.


Back it says 410POWER, and I think it have 2x50W Nominal Power and 2X65W Music pwr. Does anyone have some experience with this receiver?

Can you give me advice what is max. number of speakers and what speakers are the best for this receiver (how many oms, wats etc.)
Now I have Magnat Bull, Monitor C on it but I think this receiver is too power for them.

Thank You and best regards!

I have some experience with older recievers, not this one. I don't have specs on it.

I wouldnt worry about overpowering speakers, it's underpowering them that causes problems. Keep the volume reasonable and you'll be fine, amps don't blow speakers, stupid people who can't handle a volume knob do.

Keep the impedance as high as possible- Sansui stopped making the equipment that could drive moderately difficult loads in the '70s. The R series from the early '80s was like a boxer with a "glass jaw" and should have been recalled because they blew up on a regular basis due to the design being faulty. The choices for that series were: Blow up the amp or blow up the receiver if it was cranked up.

Use the most sensitive speakers you can find.
