Impedance of A8's with Hempcone drivers?
« on: 21 Jul 2016, 04:19 pm »
As the title states, I have a pair of A8's but with the Hempcone drivers and not the Visatons.  Can anyone tell me if they are 4, 6 or 8 ohm?  I just bought a Rogue Audio Cronus amp, and the 4 or 8 ohm taps are accesses internally.  I'm not sure which to use, and it's not easy to just try both without opening it up twice.  I appreciate the help!

  • To whom more was given more will be required.

The Omegas 8inches are 8 ohms, Visaton B200 are 6 ohms.
For 8 ohms speakers you can use 4 or 8 ohms taps at the amp.
For 6 ohms speaker use 4 ohms taps.
