Five ohm resistance is about right for an 8-ohm speaker. Eleven ohms means there is a broken wire or connection somewhere.
Impedance change!?
Hi,
I'm after some expert advice :)
I got hold of a pair of Celestion15s recently and they blew a channel on my Sharp SM1122 amp (it was my Dad's) which accepts 4-16 ohms.
Impedance is a rock solid 5.2 ohms on one speaker, and a wavering 11 ohms on the other (so it's highly suspect!) The label says 4-8ohms.
I've googled of course, but can find no reason for this difference and would appreciate any input on how I can resolve this issue.
Kind regards,
Paul
