Choosing speakers for Zen v4

frags · 7th October 2009, 05:40 PM

I have two options here:
Floorspeaker #1 (Streem FS-808).
Tweeter: 1" pure silk dome
Midrange: 5.25" polypropylene treated
Woofer: dual 8" polypropylene treated
Frequency Response: 35 Hz - 20 KHz
Sensitivity: 92 dB

Floorspeaker #2 (Streem RW-500).
Tweeter: 1" pure silk dome
Midrange: dual 6.5" polypropylene treated
Woofer: 8" polypropylene treated
Frequency Response: 40 Hz - 20 KHz
Sensitivity: 90 dB

Which one will work better with Zen v4?

#1, imho.

What's the impedance of the dual woofer?

Both speakers are 8Ohm.
As I understand this is the impedance at 1kHz.
I don't know about Z at other frequencies.

If they are in parallel, we would see 4 ohms. Low impedance
does not play to Zen's strength.

No. I don't know what Z is for the individual woofer. The entire floorspeaker has 8Ohm.
