Rookie Question, maybe


I have finally brought home the Primaluna Prologue and LOVE it.  Here is my question.  I have a set of Martin Logan Bookshelf speakers that I am using temporarily until the room that the amp and speakers are going in is finiahed.  The speakers are rated at 4ohms but compatible with 4,6, and 8ohm amps.  The Primaluna have speaker hook ups for both 4 and 8 ohm speakers.  How should I hook up the speakers to get the best sound but not overload the amp, or does it really matter?  I listen, for the time being, at low to medium volume.

Cheers

Welcome to Audiogon. You are going to find that you will get a variety of opinions on any topic or question you post. I consider that a good thing, but as you can see you already received two different answers that could have you going two different directions. Here is my advice: Read the Prologue manual (hard copy or online) to determine whether it specifically says you should not connect 4ohm speakers to anything other than the 4ohm posts. If it doesn't tell you to expressly avoid such connections, then I would try them all and see what sounds best to you. This is a hobby. As such, you should try different options when they are available unless they are patently dangerous, will void the warranty, or you're not sure if it will damage the equipment. I would be surprised if trying your speakers on all the optional speaker posts will hurt either your speakers or your Prologue.
Have fun
