Shahinian Oblisk


I have just purchased a McIntosh Tube Amp 2102 and Tube PreAmp 2200. The amp gives a choice of connecting my Shahinian Oblisk speakers to different OHM speaker settings.
1. Can someone please explain how the OHM effects the speakers.
2. Should I choose a higher or lower OHM setting for the Shahinian speakers.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

As others have said, you usually want to match the nominal impedence of the speakers to the output impedence tap of the amp, HOWEVER the real test is which output tap sounds best and it isn't always the "correct" one. Try both taps and see which one sounds better. You will not damage the amp or the speakers.
