Sonus Faber w/ Sonic Frontiers Power 1 - Impedance


I have a Sonic Frontiers Power 1 amp and Sonus Faber Grand Piano Home speakers. The nominal impedance of the speakers is 6 ohms. The amp has 4 and 8 ohm settings. Which do I use?

Thanks. Can you be more specific about the problems? Would I risk damage to speakers or the amp at 8 ohms? Or would the problems be in the realm of not achieving optimum performance from my system?

Hello, and thanks to everyone for responding. Unfortunately, and somewhat ridiculously, the POWER 1 amp requires de-soldering and soldering to change from the 8 ohm factory setting to 4 ohms. This pretty much takes experimentation out of the picture. I think I'll just make the change and see what happens. If I need to, I'll look into the Manley amp.
(With the POWER 2 & 3 amps, you don't need to solder. They have screw-down leads.)

Thanks again.

Tom
