also keep in mind that Tube amplifiers like higher impedences such as 8 ohms or higher, were as Solid State amps can drive more power into lower impedences such as 4 ohms. although even some of the best Solid State amps can still have trouble driving very low impedences such as 2 ohms. speakers that drop down this low I would stay away from because they will limit the choice of amplifiers you can use on them.
4 Ohm vs. 8 Ohm, what does it mean.....
Many of us know there are 4 ohm and 8 ohm speakers. (Like me). Many people dont know why (Like me). What are the design tradoffs for these different impedences? It would seem that a heavier load, ie, 8 ohm, would result in more accuracy, especially in the woofer....but I dont really know....thanks Mark
