Spkr says rated for 8 but told to use 4 , b&w 802 d3. Does it matter?
lower the tap? Is 2 lower than 8?

emergingsoul OP With the B&W802’s giving this 3ohm load to the amp https://www.stereophile.com/images/616BW802fig1.jpg They demand an amp that can drive 4ohm or less un-phased, even 2ohm, as there is also a nasty EPDR of -64 degrees negative phase angle at 70hz, you could even try the 2ohm tap to get the ultimate bass control, but you won’t have much wattage to go loud with. Really I don't think these sort of speakers are suitable for a transformer coupled amps. Cheers George |
