4ohm vs 8 ohm......why one or the other.......


Why are some speakers designed as 4 ohm, and some as 8? What are the considerations and advantages of either? thanks....Mark

There are quite a few well-known combinations of low-impedance speakers that mate very well with tube equipment. Magnepan and MartinLogan speakers both present pretty low impedence loads and both are generally said to sound better with tube equipment. I know my ML's sound even nicer with tube euqipment than with solid state.
