| LA Show Report Brainwater, what were they driving the VR4jrs with?Thanks | |
| Intergrated Amp with VR4jrs Kck, you are correct, I DO NOT want the hassle of tubes. In fact I want to simplify even futher by going to an intergrated, that is why I posted my question and I want to keep the cost down to a few $Ks. | |

| 8 Vs 4 ohms The 8 ohm tap will output more volts but less peak current.Power = Volts x Current = Volts x Volts / ohms = Current x Current x ohms | |
| 4 ohm vs 8 ohm taps Normally the 8 ohm tap would be correct but:The 8 ohm tap will output 2x the voltage but 1/2 the current as the 4 ohm tap. However speakers impedence is not purely resistive and depending on the impedence vs freq. profile of your speakers, the 4 o... | |
