Von Schweikert Audio VR4-jr overall impedance

58.153.8.28

Posted by devilcoach on March 27, 2007 at 07:22:22

I have asked VSA the following question:

The manual says:

Impedance: 8 ohms nominal (Midrange/Tweeter). 4 ohms nominal (Woofers). 6 ohms average.

I am not a technical person, but from high school Physics, should the overall (average in your term) of impedance be calculated as:

1/R = 1/8 + 1/4
1/R = 3/8
R = 8/3 = 2.6666 ohms

The overall impedance (2.6666 vs 6) is important to me in choosing a power amplifier.

But VSA seems not understand what I meant (was I wrong?) and just re-stated that, overall impedance is 6ohms.

Any idea?
