maze Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 on klipsch's site they state the kg4s are 6 ohms but a picture of someone selling them on ebay shows on the back of the speaker that they are 4 ohms..my reciever, denon 2601, is rated at 6 to 8 ohms...anybody know if im going to get a lot of overheating if i connect the 4 ohm kg4s to my reciever?

HiFi Heaven Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I have four KG4's - two marked 4 ohms, two marked 6 ohms - they all measure 3.6 ohms DC resistance. I would consider them to be 4 ohm speakers. By the way, they are fantastic stacked! I run them with the horns at the ceiling and at ear-level, with the 4 8" together as a line-array. I upgraded the HF diaphragms with Bob Crites titaniums (fantastic!) and drive them in parallel with an Adcom 555.

maze Posted December 7, 2009 Author Share Posted December 7, 2009 what do you think about driving them with a 8ohm denon 100 wpc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiFi Heaven Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Maybe at low levels - watch for overheating in the receiver! 4 ohm loads generate twice the heat in the amplifier - this is why many receivers are not rated for 4 ohm loads - they will overheat.
