Do not connect 2 sets of speakers at 4 ohm or you will blow your output transitors, I know I have done it. The Marantz 22/23/44/43 or any were not designed to run at 2 ohms because you sacrifice Fidelity. The best sound is acheived by running in 8 ohm; 4 ohm kills headroom oh 8ohm amps and 4ohm speakers don't keep the electricity in the coil long enough. The last statement was told to me by a the smartest man I know of he has a PHD in several fields(electornics,Math,ect) and designs Flight simulators for fighter jets.
Marantz 2325's interaction with 4 speakers/load?
I am bidding on a Marantz 2325 amp, and want to know can I drive my Thor speakers (like 6 ohm, I think) on one set of outs and with the other speaker outs run a pair of Seas W26's as woofers(has a proper xover). Will this load damage the amp over time? are the Marantz's built "like a tank", so no problem?? I wish to see how much more dynamics I can get out of the Thors with the Marantz, vs the little Jadis Orchestra intergrated. I use to have a Marantz 2015, for a little guy, sure was nice sound. I recall there was talk back in the 70's that the 2265/2250 was more musical vs the bigger Marantz's. True?
