    A brief recap of the basics might help. A significant proportion of speakers labelled 8 ohms are really 6 ohms nominal. Neat say the...

    The amp isn't bright, the speaker is and the amp isn't hiding it from you. There's a difference. The amp is neutral

    Should still be fine unless you turn the dial to max before switching to the 4 ohms - in which case you would have other problems like...

    Not necessarily so. Most I've seen (see my Roksan) don't quite make it. I guess it's just value for money calculations - 220W should be...

    Some people buy high end speakers, with a dozen drivers. That reach from the floor up to the ceiling. And some folk dream of sitting...

    My speakers are B+W CT7.3 LCRS. They are a little bright. The amp is also a little bright. I really would like some more punch. The...

    Hi Ian, Neat Ultimatum XLS are very very good speakers with high resolution. Luxman amps from Z line are excellent choices for them. I...

    You would think that, but I estimate about 75% of amps don't, or it is not even mentioned, hence the requirements for measurements when...

    Thank you gentlemen. How about A+B speakers when one pair is 8ohms, and the other is 4 ohms? I'm not trying to wind you up, I really...

    I'm surprised the Luxman only outputs an extra 50% into 4ohms - most well designed amps with a stable power supply will double their...

    This is about the power reserves of the amp. At 4 ohms the speakers will take more current as there is lower impedance to the voltage...

    Shouldn't be any problem. Just about any amp you can buy is nominally 8 ohm, some valve amps have 4 ohm speaker taps but it merely...
