I'm sorry if this comes across as being somewhat naive but I was wondering if someone could assist in explaining how adding a Supertweeter to my speakers - may, will, does, could, etc, change/affect the load that my amplifier recognises?
The Supertweeters (rated at 8 ohms) have their crossovers and would connect to the main speakers HF binding posts (tri-wireable speakers - three sets of binding posts - LF, M and HF) via "piggy backing" banana plugs.
The main speakers are also listed as 8 ohms (and according to the manufacturer ATC have a flat impedance curve allowing easy load for amplifiers).Flat impedance curve allowing easy load for amplifiersFlat impedance curve allowing easy load for amplifiers
Further, if I was biamping (passive) the main speakers with bridged amplifiers* - one connected to LF binding posts "driving" the bass driver, and another connected to the M and HF binding posts "driving" the midrange driver, and tweeter (and in effect the Supertweeter), how does/would this impact on the amps, in terms of the load they see, and could this cause the amps to stress?
Thanks in advance
*It may or may not help, but In the manual, the amps aren't rated in relationaship to being able to drive 2 ohm speakers (in bridged mode) so I assume they would struggle or simply can't.
