Hi all
Getting very confused about the impedence selector on the back of my yamaha amp.
I have a pair of wharfedale 10.6 speakers which are 6 ohms and bi wired connected to the amp as speakers A
And i also have a pair of B&W 602 S3's which are 4 ohms and bi wired connected to the amp as speakers B
The problem ive got is When I select speakers B on the amp, the B&W's sound terrible, as soon as i select Speakers A (wharfedale 10.6) they sound amazing.
Im just wondering is this because my impedence switch is set to High, should it be set to low??!
it says in the manual the following :
Set the position to HIGH when :
If you use one set (A OR B) the impedence of each speaker must be 6 ohms or higher.
If you use 2 setes (A and B) simultaneously, the impedance of each speakers must be 12 ohms or higher
For LOW it says:
If you use one set (A OR B) the impedence of each speaker must be 4 ohms or higher.
If you use 2 setes (A and B) simultaneously, the impedance of each speakers must be 8 ohms or higher
After reading that, i would guess that the impedance switch must be set to LOW as the B&W speakers are 4 ohms where as the wharfedale are 6 ohms.
Im a bit worried if i set the swtich to low i might damage my speakers.
If anyone can help me out that would be great (sorry for sounding like such a noob!)
