But you do not "listen" to the voltage, you listen to the current as speakers are current driven devices.I will use the old water in a pipe analogy here. Voltage is the water pressure, current is the actual water flowing through the pipe. When you drink that water the pressure is not what you taste.
Voltage is electrical potential.
Current is electron flow.But of course as Ohms law clearly proves they are related as you can not have one without the other.
Actully I take back a bit of what I said at 6:30am this morning...
I was thinking only in DC terms, but since audio is AC there will be just as much current flowing through Rx as Ry. During each half cycle the current will flow from the respective negitive potential of the source. On one half of the cycle current flows from the source through Rx then Ry and back to the source. On the other half of the cycle current flows from the source through Ry then Rx and back to the source.

So you are right both resistors are of equal importance.
Well, I'm glad that got resolved.

At the input to the amp, current is not necessarily the driver.
Seems you often do soon after me.So how many and what other names do you post under?
HowdyJohn (jneutron) doesn't use multiple monikers. He's quite earnest in his own way.
He only seems to show up here when Prop Heads is slow :)
Anyway let's try to keep on topic and away from the negative personal...
Thanks.I believe he was referring to stalking, as in how many others do I stalk, and who..
Could be wrong, but that was my take..

Actually, I'm here lots, just not much to say. But when someone of tweekeng's talents tosses up a foible....:-)

Toss up a foible? Is that something cats in "Joisey" do?

Quite the punster, are you!
twe: ""

twe: ""

If your statements were accurate or on target, I would not have posted. If you have some sense that I seem to post immediately after you, then perhaps that is the reason why.
Cheers, John
