    The Ohm matching game

    I’d like to learn a bit more about the Ohm matching of amps/receivers and speakers. Is it always better to match recommended Ohms for amplifier and speakers? I understand that an 8 Ohm amp or receiver has to work harder to drive 6 Ohm speakers than 8 Ohm speakers — I guess that also means...

    Upgrading speaker posts on VTA ST70

    Hi everybody. I picked up a beautiful VTA ST-70 that was assembled by a lady named Sue in 2013 (signed in the chassis). It is set up to accommodate 8ohm speakers only. I want to hook it up to a pair of Klipsch Fortes which are 4ohm. Anybody know what I'd have to do to upgrade this on the amp...

    Ohm L's. SBA and Woofer upgrade or not?

    I have a pair of Ohm L's that are in perfect shape but they are stock. I have been toying around with the idea of upgrading the woofer and getting the SBA attachment. Has anyone done this before? Is it worth it to replace the original woofer and also get the SBA or is it better to just leave...

    Can anyone identify this Ohm Walsh Short?

    I have been using my "ayes" as L&R since I got them. Original Walsh 2's for rear surround duty. And 2 Rythmik subs to flank the mains. A center channel in my scenario was not necessary. But I had been searching for something to fit the bill for some time. I purchased a misfit single Walsh 2...

    Why 8ohms on old subwoofer?

    I stuck a camera inside my Sansui sp200's and I am wondering why the tweeters and midrange speakers are 16ohm and the subwoofer is 8? 8 is great but why?

    2 speakers 8ohm per channel; amp 4 or 8 ohm?

    Ls, I have decided to put 2 speakers on each front channel of my surround amp. They are both 8 Ohm so that should not fck up my stuff. The amp however has a switch that can be set to 4 or to 8 Ohms. What setting would be safer/better? As you can tell from my "indepth" knowledge I have been...
