I absolutely agree with the above responses from artistic Audio and from Rives, The Manufacturers have focused on 4 ohm speakers to market them more effectively. They sound louder in the demo rooms than would an 8 ohm speaker at the same electronics setting. I suggest taking a sound level meter with whem auditioning speakers. Also bring your own music and don't rush the demo. Take your time and stop back a second time if necessary. Better yet, take the speakers home because the room is a big factor in the evaluation process. Good Luck
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
