wilson watt puppy 7 help and suggestions


Hi,

I own wilson watt puppy 7 speakers and recently acquired the lamm 2.2 hybrid monoblock amps.

Two questions.....First, what does wilson mean when it says the impedance for the puppy 7 is a nominal 4 ohms? Is there a difference between 4 ohms and nominal 4 ohms?
I ask because the lamm amp has a switch for whether the speakers are above or below 6 ohms.

Second Question is whether anyone has switched the tuning ports of the puppy 7's when going from solid state to tube. Here, the amp is both solid state and tube albeit only 1 tube. Stay with the 100-400 ports which is factory setting or not?

Thanks

Michael

I agree with Cytocycle's recommendations wholeheartedly except one: you should listen to both ports with the Lamms and determine which sounds best by your ears. As a long time Wilson afficionado and current W/P7 owner I learned long ago that the ports tune the "instruments" far more to the tastes of the listener than to the specifications of associated amplification.
