I am thinking about buying a pair of PSB bookshelf speakers with an impedance of 6 ohms.
The amp I want to use to drive them has an impedance switch on the back: 4 ohms or 8 ohms.
Which setting would you choose?
Sorry if this seems dumb -- I have been reading posts about impedance here and elsewhere and I don't really get it.
Thanks.
