I recently bought some Altec 820 speakers and have some XO questions.
Crossover face says Designed to operate from 8 to 16 ohms. Does this mean I can hook my amp to 8 or 16 ohms? or do they mean 8 to 16 ohm speakers can be used with the XO? Merry Christmas from the Fever Family

It should mean the speaker load you connect to, if the drivers are rated 8 then hook to 8 ohm load, 16 ohm rated driversto the 16 ohm load. The drivers will seldom ever measure 8 or 16 so you have to interpolate their impedance like 5~8 ohms would be 8 ohm rated, 9~16 would be 16 ohm rated. Good luck!

Im asking because I see some N-800-D's that say 16ohms. Mine says 8-16 ohms. Thanks Rick

"Bowrtie", Tom Brenan (sp) & "Dowojo" are the go to guy I respect for Altec informations. There are others I can't remember the names but these guy asre very knowlegable on the Altec score.
