The other day I was offered a sweet deal on a pair of 4 ohm drivers that would be perfect for my project. Still I'm a little concearned that they are rated 4 ohm.
I've ran some initial basic models for the passive crossover and it would seem that when all is said and done the impedance of the speaker might be down to 2 ohm.
I'd say this is pretty close to the point where they become difficult no matter what amp you're running and forget about using a tube amp.
Are the 4 ohm drivers for active set-ups only or what?
What's your take on using 4 ohm woofer drivers in a hifi-build?
Oh, did I mentione that I'll be pairing it with a 8 ohm CD in a waveguide.
The obvious upside would be higher sensitivity voltage wise which would mean less damping on the tweeter which is probably a good thing.
As long as the amp is up for it...
