Hemp Bipoles - 16 ohm efficiency rating
« on: 19 Mar 2007, 05:38 pm »
Louis,

When the Hemp Bipoles V1 are wired for 16 ohms instead of the rated 4 ohms how does this effect the efficiency rating and to what degree?
Do the 4.5 Hemps have the same efficiency as the Fostex's?

Hi Rajacat,

The SPL would be 93 and in 4 ohm 96. In 16 ohms the speakers is more efficient though and an easier load on the amp, preferably tube. 4 ohm is great for most SS.

Thanks again,
Louis
