McIntosh Amplifier Gain Specs at Speaker Taps
Hello,
The gain specs for many McIntosh amplifiers is different for each of the speaker impedance taps, for example the 2-ohm terminal says 23 db gain, the 4-ohm terminal is 26 db, etc.
If I have 8-ohm nominal speakers but want to use the lowest gain terminal - the 2-ohm / 23 db terminals, would there be any negative influence in sound quality?
My preamp gain is high and sounds best with amplifiers with 20-23 db gain or adjustable gain. Thanks.
