Need speakers that can rock with just one watt? You found da place.

RE: How to raise the total resistance of a speaker

You could put a resistor in series with the speaker input although I wouldn't recommend it. This is essentially the same as using long runs of very thin speaker wire which isn't a great idea. But then I think of my Sunfire amp with current and voltage outputs. The current output has a series resister to increase the output impedance(decreasing the damping factor). Carver did this to make the Sunfire sound more like a tube amp although if your speakers can be biwired he recommends using the voltage output for the bass(for better control) and the current output for the rest of the audio spectrum. As a friend likes to say - color me perfect.
