Hello Steve,
The 16 Ohm speakers would work fine with the Zen-V4 amplifier. I tried it, and it sounds very good. Best regards, Kristijan Kljucaric http://web.vip.hr/pcb-design.vip |

I have understood that the specified sensitivity (dB) explains the loudness of the speaker, while the specified impedance (ohm) is reference to the choice of amplifier having proper damping factor and output signal current (and voltage) supply.

Here we could read an interesting information about the proper speaker selection.

JH, in 1977 I did in fact build some very efficient Lowther horns.
I made them 1,5 times normal size so they were monsters. Two meters high, 100 kilo each with folded horns in concrete. http://www.muyiovatki.dk/duelund/duelund.htm I sold these dinosaurs many years ago and wouldn't go into such a project today, cause I don't want to use so much room for hifi anymore. What I'm looking for now are small DIY enclosures, booksleves size, with high efficiency to go with a cute little Zen 4

Ah... I did not know that.
Since the article, Some Insight into Proper Speaker Selection, on the above quoted web page was useful read for me, I just thought that it would be also interesting for you.  JH |

Thanks for your replies......
I'm afraid that I should rephrase my question. I have the opportunity to purchase some drivers which I'll use in the 100 - 1000 Hz range. I can have them in 8 or 16 ohm. Assuming all other factors to be equal, would I expect the Zen V4 to perform worse, better, or the same with 16 ohm vs 8 ohm? Thanks again, Steve |

You will definitely experience lower distortion into
16 ohms, but also about 1/2 the power. |
