Hi Pals ! i have been offered a set of pristine cond AR1 sunfire amplified speakers , 15 inch woofer is amplified by a sunfire 500 watt amplifier , but i am wondering what feeds the front speakers ......the seller tells me that the wires coming from a power amplifier feeds the sunfire and the front speakers , but i can still see a couple rca female connectors there .....anyone has a clue on how to properly connect them to get the best of them ?

i have a carver m400T and a phase linear 700/2 ( PL , Carver , Sunfire , looks like i like Bob`s stuff , Lol ) but i think they will be too much for the front speakers .......

i believe the ideal would be a small class A amp ....or a tube one ...suggestions ?

any healthy advice will be greatly appreciated !
