16 ohm speakers with 5 ohm amp ?


Hi all,

What happens when you pair a low ohm amp ( Manley Stingray ipod ) with a high ohm speaker ( Zu Oman/ Spacial M3 or 4 Turbo triode) ? 5 Ohm amp output to 12 to 14 ohm speaker. Thanks

A speaker is an electroacoustic transducer that translates electric current into atmospheric vibrations. Impedance is less important than the spl. Which speaker will sound louder? 8 Ohm / 92db or 16 Ohm / 96db?
