What does Nominal Impedance mean?
townshend-audio, Is that the same for the F1 speaker cable? ozzy

jjss49, erik_squires, Thanks for that very good information. It’s interesting and confusing at the same time. ozzy  
What does Nominal Impedance mean?
esarhaddon1, So, what number(s) are meaningful when it comes to speaker specs? Is this what you mean by a Zobel Network? RLC network to prevent unstable amplifiers from oscillating, to reduce distortion, and to act as an RF filter ozzy  
What does Nominal Impedance mean?
So, I guess I understand that now, nominal impedance is just a number. Highly questionable, I guess that is so with sensitivity ratings. Different frequencies produce different amounts of energy, so that could be all over the map in reality. But ...

I was just reading a review of the Rockport Orion speakers in The Absolute Sound by Robert Harley. They weigh about 350lbs! Cost over $133,000 and it is still a 4-ohm speaker! ozzy

amir_asr, Thank you for that info. I wonder though if most tube type amps would also show a large amount of distortion? BTW, I like the sound of the Carver amps. Previously I owned Atmasphere, Pass, Krell and a few others. ozzy 
The best plug in filter ever!
Not sure I am understanding your post. Are you saying that you are adding a SR HFT onto the end of the Puron? If so, I have tried it and it didn’t seem to do anything. I have some of the SR tuning dots and I may try one on the ends. ozzy

What does Nominal Impedance mean?
So, does that mean they will play louder or does the amp need to work harder? ozzy 
What does Nominal Impedance mean?
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? ozzy  
What does Nominal Impedance mean?
ditusa, Your explanation makes sense and seems to concur with what I read. (somewhere). ozzy

czairvey, Wow! Interesting. Most of this is over my head. I have a business degree. ozzy  
What does Nominal Impedance mean?
ditusa, Probably, but many large speaker cabinet types still have low impedance and sensitivity requiring monster amps to drive them. ozzy
