Hi fellow QuadraphonicQuad members. Well, I've done it, I finally have ordered a Sansui QRX-9001 from Jim at QRX Restore. My unit is being restored at this time, and I hope to have it in a couple of weeks. To say I'm anxious to be getting one after all the years of wanting one is an understatement. I really intended to discuss with you all about doing this, but I just decided to press on. I currently have a QRX-6001 which was mostly restored a few years ago by Chris Ready (he was unable to do anything with the CD-4 section other than replace the caps), and lately the demodulator section is having some serious difficulty maintaining carrier lock. I know I could send off the CD-4 board for a re-build, but I just decided that I'd really love to have a 9001 instead, especially since its CD-4 demodulator is supposed to be much better. When I get it I'll post pics and listening impressions. In the meantime, I have some questions to ask about speakers for the new unit: First, I'm currently using 4 Paradigm Micro Monitors with the 6001, and they sound very nice. However, I still have my Polk Audio speakers from my HT setup that were recently replaced with Focal Speakers. The Polks consist of 2 RTi-100s that have built-in subs (which I'll use for my front speakers) and 2 Monitor 50s for the surround channels. I'm pretty sure they'll be a good match, but what do you all think?
