| Toto Tungsten Speaker Cables by Bogdan Tungston? It's Interesting as to why anyone would use a material that has such a poor conductivity rating i.e. compared to copper or silver, to make cables. That was my thought, curious indeed. | |
| Which amp will cause a larger increase in electric bill? The Kill A Watt meter is ideal for things like freezers or refrigerators. These items vary their power consumption on whether their compressor is running, how often the door is opened, and what the ambient temperature happens to be. For amplifi... | |

| Increase total Speaker Impedance -- Potential Solution Yes, sort of; clearly, a definite maybe. :-) What you need to do is buy two more speakers identical to what you currently have, and wire them in series.
