Gainclone Running 2 Speakers; Parallel or Series

So wiring in series worked pretty well. The gainclone has no problem powering the combination of the two speakers. The combination is a little on the brighter side, but so much better than the Advents alone, which were really subdued in their positions. This works best for the positioning available.

I will check the tweeters but the may sound dull due to their positioning - too much upholstered furniture around them. Not sure I can get my GF to raise the speakers above the furniture, and they are positioned in corners.

You're right about the SPL balance b/t the two speakers (e.g. a Gallo sitting on top of an Advent) - although one can only tell by trying it out, right?

I would go series not parallel. I went back and looked at posts online, and some people state that 4 ohms is on the low side for this chip amp. If 8 ohms is good, 12 ohms may not be that far off. Again - regarding output level - seems like it's worth a try. if I'm maxed out and close to clipping, I'll veto the idea. But if there is plenty of headroom....

Thanks Plato.

This sounds like a bad idea. Have you checked that the output level of the speakers will be the same at a given power input from the amp? If not, one speaker pair will play louder than the other.

Also, the overall impedance will be below 4 ohms if you put them in parallel. And if you put them in series you'll have over 12 ohms and the output level will suffer.

You could try it but I wouldn't expect very good results. Are you sure the tweeters are working right in the Advents?
