i have b&w 601's,passive biamped.if this is an 8 ohm(nom) speaker does that mean each section will be 16 ohms,am i driving my amp half power(load)?
60wpc x 6(at 8 ohms) even though i still push full bandwidth all the way to the speaker x-over, have i reduced the load at all? it sounds better,has better dynamics,doesn't get as hot as it used to.
i thought i knew about audio but i surely never meant to confuse myself(others of course) but never me!
It's still an 8 ohm speaker.
