any fixes for impedance mismatch


i have a hovland hp100 (output imp = 2.5K ohms, rise to 4.3k at 20Hz) going to pass x150.5. ( input imp 10K ohm rca, 20K ohm XLR).

The combo sounded better than x1/x150.5 and many other i tried. Base is not lean.

Are there ways to match the impedance to further improve sound? Ten times rule to avoid current sharing.

hovland rca out only, using rca to xlr connector causes lowlevel hum.

Check out BVaudio.com, the Sound Refiner SR-10. Not sure this is the answer, but worth a look. I used one to great succes driving long cables from a passive pre....
