[QUOTE="Nidri, post: 72948, member: 1342"] I have a 14-watt Xindak valve amp with 4 and 8 ohm speaker binding posts. This is connected to a pair of Dynaudios with an impedance 'rating' of 4 ohm. So, naturally, I've always connected the speakers to the amp's 4 ohm taps. But then, on Ampdog's advice, I tried the 8 ohm taps. Now I'm confused. At times I can't tell any difference. At times I think the one is better. And then the other. At times the 8 ohm connection also sounds LOUDER, but I might be going insane. Is there any valid (electrical) reason for the one constitute a better match than the other (8ohm vs 4ohm)? My ears have failed me. Maybe science can help. Or guys who know scientific stuff. And maybe some other stuff. [/QUOTE]
