Szonye | You might want to mention that it’s safe (but inefficient) to plug an 8Ω speaker into an amplifier rated for 4Ω, but the other way around is not safe. Also, the relationship between impedance and power is not linear, so plugging a 16Ω speaker into an 8Ω amp will probably not get you half the power. For example, my 4Ω/500W amp produces 300W at 8Ω. | |
