Hi.

I measured for the first time last fall the impedance of my re-built bi-wired KEF speaker systems & found the lowest dip is about 10R across the 20Hz to 20KHz spectrum.

Basing on this observation, I tried to tap the speaker load up to 16R instead of 8R, the way it has been hooked up & audtioned it with
my LPs, test CDs & DVD-audio disks.

Guess how it sounded like, the HF get brighter & bass get thinner.
It sounded like the entire response was tilted gently upwards toward HF. This did not sound right to me ears.

So, I tapped it back to 8R & the response get back level with HF & LF pretty balanced sonically to my ears.

So how did my speaker impedance measurement & its sonic effect go along with what you just commented?
