Thanks. It sounds as if it's no big sweat. Also and BTW, double checking the Europas, they are closer to 8 ohm. 4-5 ohm in the lower frequency -- I didn't read carefully.
Speaker advice for Mac MC2505
I'm soliciting advice for a friend -- I'm as close as he has to an audio advisor. Sad, I know, but what can you do? For many years he's been the owner of a Mac MC2505 amp and a C24 pre, and he needs new speakers. A thread here at audiogon says that the 2505 can be tricky to match with speakers, but I can't say I grasp the issue. Hence this thread.
He listens almost entirely to classical and not typically at very high volume. The room is probably about 12x20, I'd guess. He wants to stay under $1000 and is willing to buy used.
Two things: 1) Specific suggestions. I was thinking of suggesting some Totems - Arros or Dreamcatchers perhaps - or Green Mnt Europas. But they're all 4 ohm, and I don't know if that would be a problem for the 2505. And so ... 2) Why is the 2505 tricky to match speakers with? What should I (he) be looking for, or NOT be looking for?
