bumping this thread
Since I originally posted in this thread I have moved, and thus had to setup my stereo, twice.
I just got into the latest place on Friday and have been listening to tunes all weekend. For the heck of it I thought I'd switch from the 8ohm taps that I had been using in my last place to the 4ohms and... what do you know, my impressions of the changed sound line up pretty close to what I posted 2.5 years ago on this topic. I A/B'd and then went and found my original post.
Just thought this was an interesting tweak that deserved a bump for some of the newer folks here...
just switched from the 8ohm to the 4ohm taps... sound is very different, noticeable change immediatley... not sure which I like more but for the time being the new 4ohm setup has me intrugued. the bass and low mids seem cleaner and the bass seems tighter and lower..... the upper mids seem cleaner as well...
I'll have to do some more listening though
man, time flies (but it seems like bush has been in office forever)...
anyway, as you can read if you go back, 4ohm worked for me, too. i trusted my ears, and liked what i heard with the 4ohm tap, even though the klipsch say 8ohm on the back
i assume i am not hurting the speakers by using 4ohm instead of 8...
but i guess the tweak is case specific - like in ducati's and teddy's cases, hooking into the 4ohm tap didnt help sonically. i wonder why that is..?
totally off topic, but have i told you how well that cheap, stock t-amp feeds my klipsch speakers..? it is astonishing (i was curious and bought one for $20 years ago)...
