Hello everyone,
First time poster here and with good reason! I have recently aquired a pair of Jamo Classic 6's and I'm looking at getting an amp for them.
So I've seen on here that the 'Marantz PM6004' would be an ideal amp for my first amp purchase. Mainly used AIWA stereos before, but now I'm in a position to do a little bit of upgrading.
So natually I was dissapointed to read that the PM6004 is 8 Ohms and my Jamo Classic 6's are only 4 Ohms. Now am I right in thinking they have to match, or does some calculation have to be done? E.g. 2 x 4 Ohms speakers amount to 8 Ohms anyway?
I could also do with some advice on cabling and the type of connectors there are on the back of the PM6004 (bannanas?) as the cables they came with are old and brittle now. Ideally they need to be flat (maybe clear?) cables to potentially go under carpet or round the skirting board, so they're unseen... Basically.
If you have any other suggestions as far as amps go, then please don't hesistate to suggest any. (Although I do have my heart set on the PM6004!)
Thanks in advance!
Ross
