I have a pair of speakers that are listed as 8 ohm "nominal impedance", which might be the impedance at 1000hz, but show a "minimum impedance" of 3.1 ohms, so I contacted the manufacturer for my amp, who recommended I use the 4 ohm tap, not the 8 ohm one.
Defining nominal impedance
A speaker says it is 4, 6, 8 ohms nominal impedance. I'm trying to understand the word nominal in this context.
Wikipedia defines nominal impedance as the lowest value after resonance.
Q1: What is reasonance?
Q2: My amp has both an 8-ohm post and a 4-ohm post. For a 6 ohm speaker, is it better to go with the 4-ohm or 8-ohm post? Or will it depend on the amp and so I should experiment with both?
