It seems like the MA6500 will work well with either load, so it shouldn't make much difference whether you use nominal 4-ohm or 8-ohm speakers... as long as the speakers' sensitivity specs are not too different. Given the same efficiency, there will be more available power into 4-ohms, though it's likely that the better speaker (whichever one it is) will still sound better (unless you are clipping the amp at your preferred listening level).
4 ohm load vs 8 ohm load? What is prefered?
Example; Mcintosh MA6500 integrated amp will output 120 wpc
when using 8ohm speakers. But if I use a 4ohm speaker system it will output 200wpc.
What would the difference be assuming both speaker systems are equal in audio fidelity?
Thanks in advance for any insight.
