Case in point to your second point, Lew.
I am experimenting with a speaker that has a series/parallel string of highs/mids crossed over to a series/parallel string of woofs. The impedance of the combination--measured at the speaker terminals--was less than three ohms. Powered by my Atmas the combination was truly struggling: it lacked dynamics and the highs were unacceptably rolled off. Conclusion: bad amp? bad speakers?
When I rewired the speakers such that each string was in series, raising the overall impedance to 18 Ohm or so (thanks, Ralph), both the highs and the dynamics were much, much improved. Conclusion: great amp! great speakers!
Is it real or is it Memorex?
BTW, Lew, you comin' to RMAF?
