I have an old Heathkit 20 watt mono tube amp that I love.
What is the worst that would happen if I wired both of my Martin Logan Ascent i's to the 4 ohm output?
Isn't that the same as running one of them off of the 8 ohm hook up?
What is the worst that could happen? Damage to amp or speakers?
Thanks,
Dominick |

If each MLA is 8.0R, and you connect them in parallel, the worst that will happen is that each one will get half the power. |

Actually, I just found out that they are 4 ohm loudspeakers! LOL
So now what is the worst that could happen?

Less power, more distortions, shorter life of output toobs. |

| If the two speakers are identical, wire them in series and use the 8 ohm output. |
