lots of tube amps like 15 ohms but not 4 ohms, and many SS amps do great at 4 ohms but don't like 15...a had a few similarly rated SS amps that responded very differently to my high impedance Zu speakers...
15 ohm speakers yea or nay?
I just bought Falcon speakers that are 15 ohms. I have Harbeths that are 6 ohms. Both have the same sensitivity rating of 83db. I am using both with the same tube amps.
What has me scratchin’ my head is that the Falcons are much louder with the volume set the same on my preamp.
Any opinions on why a 15 ohm speaker would be that much different than a 6 ohm speaker with the same sensitivity specs?

@rodman99999 great article thanks for that. |
@yogiboy, how do the Q7 compare to the P3. Which crossover did you go with? |
Maybe the Falcons play louder then the Harbeths because a 16 Ohm woofer has a lighter and thinner voice coil then an 8 Ohm woofer. So the Falcons have higher, efficiency, just guessing. 😎 Mike
