4 8 or 16 ohms.
Hi group I just purchased the Audio Research REF 750s mono amps. On the back for the speaker terminals are 3 sets of binding posts. 4 8 and 16 ohms. I will be using B&W Matrix 800 speakers. I believe they are 8 ohms but not 💯 sure. I looked in the manual but can’t find anything about ohms. Someone said to me it does not matter what ohms I connect my speakers to. He said just use the ones (ohms) that sound best. Does that seem right to do ? I don’t want to damage my speakers or amps.  BTW if it matters I will be using an Audio Research REF 6SE pre amp.Â
As already mentioned try them all (I’ve been surprised with what I preferred on my old Pilot 232 and 240 amps). I don’t know if it’s available as a poster, but the cover of "Tales of the Beanworld" No. 4 would be interesting considering the cosmetics of the 800’s. https://majorspoilers.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/TOTB2-165x250.jpg  DeKay   |
