Hello friends,
I am using Yamaha RX V 361 AVR as my amplifier. it says it will accept a speaker of minimum 6 ohms. it does not state what maximum is allowed . i talked with a dealer and he said upto 16 ohm is allowed. is that true?
why i am asking this is because i am in process of designing a 3 way open baffle speaker. my full range is 8 ohms and tweeter is 4 ohms, if i don't get a good sub (12") for 4 ohms, i will have to use 8 ohm subwoofer. with this combo in parallel, the impedance will rise to 13 ohms. :sad:
now i don't know what this 13 ohm can do to the amp. is it good/bad/indifferent? if good, why commonly used speakers are 8ohm? if bad, then in what way? will it do anything more than reducing sound output.
i have heard that more the impedance , easier it is for the amp. but what's the upper limit?
