Quickie Compatibility With Adcom GFA-555/Polk SDA2B

[precd]

So this is my 1st post as I am looking at purchasing a Quickie before jumping to the Foreplay III later. My question is whether I will have trouble matching up the Quickie with my gear.

Adcom GFA-555 Input Impedance - 22,000 ohms/ 300pf
Polk SDA2B Sensitivity - 92db

I know this is the Quickie forum but sound off on the Foreplay III also in reference to the above question.

Thanks.

The Quickie will do fine.  As a matter of fact there are several guys who are using their Quickies with solid state amplifiers much like the GFA-555. 

As for your speakers, they only need to be matched to the power of the amplifier, and that is done already.

What sources are you going to use?

I will be using a Marantz CD5004 player. That is it! Very simple on that end.

Yeah, you will be able to drive yourself out of the house with your new setup.

Well I will let my wife know that you approve of that! ;-)

What I am trying to avoid is any mis-matches between my gear and the quickie. I would hate to replace my SS preamp only to acquire hum/noise because of impedance problems.

Typically there is a statement about minimum impedance, but not for the Quickie.  It is almost always 15k ohms or more.  So can you find the input impedance of the 555?

Yep, its in my original post......22kohms.

Thanks for the responses.
