Hello, today I measured the terminals on my 100 Classic and they measured 6,8 ohms. Manual say 4 ohms. I think they sound better with the amp at 8. Has anyone tried this?
I had a pair of JBL L100 Classics and they definitely needed a sub (or two) since they roll at about 70 hertz. That 12" is more of a low mid driver than a real low frequency driver.
One should always try the various ohm settings on your amp and decide for yourself which sounds better. It's not going to hurt the amp or the speakers.
I have the JBL L100 Classic speakers connected to a McIntosh MA6600 200wpc integrated amp. I tried both the 4 and. 8 ohm settings and to me in my room the 8 ohm setting sounds more natural. There is no right or wrong way, whichever sounds best to you.
