I know that Sansui made quad adapters that included rear channel amplifiers. I have never heard of one that lacked an amp for the rear channels. Given that it is hard to think of another use for the high level outputs you referred to, I would guess that you have RCA connectors for speaker outputs. Such was not uncommon back in the 70's. I would at least try to connect those outputs to speakers before buying another amp. Radio Shack sells speaker wire with RCA plugs.

  I will give it a try but it still does not make sense to me. Why would it have high level FRONT outputs? I assume that you feed it low level inputs from the pre-outs from the main amp, it synthesizes the 2-channel signal to 4-channel and then you feed the low-level outputs back into the amplifier. If the QS-1 had an internal amp for the rears then you could use the high outs to the rear speakers.
