Speaker/Amp Impedence Interface.......


What happens, sonically speaking, when you have a speakers with substantial droop, say from 6 ohms to 2 ohms at 100 hz and an amp which has a substantial rise in out put impedence at the same frequency?

What happens when you have the same degrees of rise and droop but they are at different frequencies?

Anyone have any thoughts on this issue?

A impedance equalizer also call a zobel network may help with this situation. Usually used in crossover help maintain speaker impedance as frequency increase. There are also amp that have this network within the output stage which helps stabilize rail voltage. Without this, instability can happen just like Sean and TWL said.
