I looked at my speaker specs - after ordering my 240/3EX - and they said 4 ohm (3.6min) am I ok.

A 240 will drive 4 ohm speakers with ease.

Thanks - That is what I thought - Actually I think the impedence varies on all speakers and a min of 3.6 might be a good match for the 240. I just wanted to be sure.

Hi:

Another amp to consider is the OmegaStar 260EX.  It has the same audio circuit, but has twice the output devices.  The additional output devices, two times the heatsink surface, and heavier power supply allows the amp to handle more difficult speaker loads  (2 Ohm region).


Thanks for your interest in AVA

I am not worried about your your speakers with an OmegaStar 240/3EX amplifier.  The amp's 4 ohm rating is very conservative.
