wireless Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 What does this mean as a spec on the new Klipsch speakers. Of course impedance changes with frequency but what does 8 ohm compatible mean? Compatible with what? -Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnysal Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 they must mean that considering that speakers impedance charateristics that it (the amp really) will be most comfortable when driven from the 8 ohm tap of an amplifier. just a guide for the user that you should consider it an 8ohm speaker...some manufaturers would call that "nominal 8 Ohm" speakers....regards, tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uhwise Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Uhh... I need an adult...! I've been blindingly deploying these as 8 ohms in projects and one of our guys pointed this out. The spec sheet says "8 ohm compatible". This is a very Bose-y move, guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 So, there's a crossover built in as part of the design, right? If so, Klipsch is telling you that you don't need to run them with a 50 lb high current amplifier -- any amplifier will work just fine with them.

Audible Nectar Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Seems like a rather large magnet for just a ceiling speaker....very Klipsch-like 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
