Mastersound Compact 845


Just purchased the above and I am loving it. Moved away from a Bryston system. Also made a change to my speakers at the same time. Had little Totem Model 1 Sigs and went with the Pioneer S-3EX speakers. The combo sounds great. I never thought there could be such a night and day type of change.

The Mastersound Compact 845 lets you attach your speaker cables to 4ohm or 8ohm posts. My Pioneer's are 88.5db at 6ohm. What would be the recommended speaker posts. I am currently using the 8ohm post and it sounds great. Am hesitant to try 4ohm in case it damages something.

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Audioman999...you won't damage anything by attaching your speakers to the 4ohm post. You should try and see which you like better. Theoretically, you should get more control over the bass frequencies through the 4ohm tap but you should try it out and see what you think. Congrats on the new equipment.
