Dared MP-7 Output Impedence and 15 ohms' speakers


Can the Dared MP-7 (6w x 2) with 4 and 8 ohm taps be used with 15 ohms' speakers and what is the configuration details please: 8 ohm amp tap used? I don't know the wattage of the speakers or name; only they are stamped 15 ohms and are very well built but vintage.

OK, apparently I can - but when parallel wiring to reduce 16ohms speakers to 8, will doing it twice so to speak (as there is a positive and negative cable coming from each amp tap) thus 4 in total mean the final impedence will in fact be 4 ohms as opposed to 8?
The only parallel speaker wiring diagrams I've seen show two wires one pos and one neg.
Haw many speaker systems do you have? Just what are you intending to wire in parallel?

I'd hook one speaker system to the 8-Ohm tap of each amp and listen. Unless the speakers are REALLY sensitive, you won't get much volume with 6 watts.
One tube amp two speakers both 16 0hms but the amp only has a 4 and a 8 ohm tap; I dont want to lose the power from the amp so thogoght parallel wiring would work to reduce the impedence of the speakers from 16 to 8 ohms.

But the configuration will always be two speaker cables coming from the amp to the speakers each of course having two wires; thus will the positive to positive parallel crossover connection from speaker to speaker have to be done twice? All diagrams I've seen only have two single wires.
I still don't understand. Does 'one tube amp' mean one single-channel amp? Or is it a stereo amp? Are you intending to build a 2-channel system or a single-channel system? If stereo, do you have 4 speaker systems?
Dear Toobie_noobie:

1) If you have 16 Ohm speaker, that means the internal impedence of the speaker is 16 Ohm. Any external "config wire" cannot change this though. If you want to parallel with another 16 Ohm speak then you will get effective 8 Ohm, but you end up with two speakers per channel that needs more power from your amp.
2) I assume that you have a pair of bi-wired cables so you can parallel connect to two speakers per channel. But if you connect to single speaker per channel, you still get 16 Ohm per channel.

Hope this is helpful.
