Home High Efficiency Speaker Asylum

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

RE: "So for a horn loaded driver, round up the DC resistance to the next higher standard: i.e. 8 or 16 Ohms."

Larger voice coils, like those used by JBL, will have high inductance, which pushes impedance up, as will relatively large diaphragms compared to the throat size, and for that matter the horn itself. I agree that calling the 2426H 8 ohms is a bit of a stretch, 6 ohms would be more like it. It's a bit difficult to make out the impedance value on the data chart because of the odd vertical scale, but it appears to be in the vicinity of 8 ohms at the recommended 800Hz crossover frequency, so that might be what they're basing it on.
