What does Nominal Impedance mean?
@ozzyWrote: Let me ask another question: So, does a 4-ohm speaker play louder than an 8-ohm speaker with the same amplifier and volume setting? As I understand, only in 8 Ohm load does 2.83 volts produce 1 watt. In a 4 Ohm load 2.83 volts pro... 
I was happy with my system for 30 years; now I need a new amp...and more?
@drbeechwood Wrote: I could spend up to maybe $1500 on the amp You only need one Schiit Vidar 2 amp $799 it's 100 watts stereo @ 8Ohm and 200 watts @ 4Ohm. Mike

@fritzspeaks Wrote: I vaguely remember that the speaker industry standard rating of impedance as what it is at 1000Hz. JBL’s impedance graph is from 20Hz to 2KHz conforming to international standard IEC. International Electrotechnical Commissi... 
What does Nominal Impedance mean?
@clearthinker Wrote: This poor manufacturer behaviour is mirrored by not quoting a dB range when specifying low frequency extension, and by over-stating sensitivity, which occurs very often. (Proper) measurements matter. I agree 110%! See the... 
What does Nominal Impedance mean?
@ozzy, I think nominal impedance means the industry standard. Impedance should not fluctuate more then 8 or 9% from the standard. I.E. An 8Ohm speaker should be no less then 6Ohms, a 4Ohm speaker should be no less then 3Ohms, if they follow the s... 
Anybody can help? ....B&W 804D3
I agree with @tomcarr! Mike  
What does Nominal Impedance mean?
@ozzy Wrote: Wonder why companies just don’t make speakers that are 8+ ohm and with high sensitivity? But it seems to be just the opposite, that is; many of the big-name speaker manufacturers produce speakers that are 4-ohm and low sensitivity. ...

Demise of bass quality in Main speakers
@james633 Wrote: the 15” is so much more textured and detailed than the speaker with 8” and also more detailed and textured than the subs. The large driver barley moves and is just better. No replacement for displacement.   I couldn't agree mo... 
Speaker Cables - Long Run
@raysmtb1 Wrote: You should take the extra money that you spend on the Biwire configurations and just buy regular single wire speaker cables. Buy wire makes absolutely no difference at all you’re wasting your money. I agree! See below: Mike ...

Another "Best" amplifier Question.
@llg98ljk Wrote: Budget is $2k. Look at the Schiit Integrated Amp Ragnarok $1499 + Mani $149 phono stage. Mike

@llg98ljk, What is the budget? Mike

@llg98ljk Wrote: My interest is getting the most I can from my new KEF R3 Metas. My Yamaha R-N500 will certainly play loud enough but in the interest of getting the best from them in terms of what many people here talk about, ie: Presence, bass ...
