Hi all,
I'm hoping the collective wisdom of the 'wam can explain to me in laymans terms the differences between using 4 ohm and 8 ohm amplifier taps to run a set of 8 ohm speakers.
For instance should the 8 ohm taps sound objectively "better" or more "dynamic" because the impedences match between the two or is that a gross simplification? Would using the lower impedence tap on the amp produce more power output and would there be a perceived difference in "roll off" at the LF and HF extensions?
Sorry for the "noob" question but just looking for peoples none techy thoughts.
