The guy who bought my JOR , who actually owned 2 previous JOR's said the amp "should/ought" to be biased every year. Take that up with him. I figured he knows what he is talking about. said tubes wear every yr and a slight bias adjustment 'could be made". Obviously take all my posts as though i am a learning newbee. I hope no one takes anything i say with too much seriousness. Just ideas to open discussion. We can all learn something here. You too.
Tube amps and speaker ohms
In your opinion , do push pull amps work better with 8 ohms or 4 ohms. .I am under the impression the lower the ohms, the more power is demanded from the amp....Another question, are there low powered SET amps ,and high power SET amps?
I'm looking at a 40 watt 845 tube amp for my 8 ohm, 89 db speaker.. just cked the Thor has a 86 db W18 midwoofers(2 per cabinet) and a 88 db tweeter. Will an 845 amp rated 40 watts be able to drive the 86/88 db speaker? With authority, bass, mids, highs, in dynamic sound stage? Synergy? Or poor match?
