Thoughts on a Marantz MM9000 amp for a 4 Ohm ...


speaker. I have the MM9000 which is rated at 150wpc into 8 Ohms. The spec sheet doesn't mention powering speakers with lower nominal impedence. I'm purchasing some Dynaudio 1.8s (4 Ohm) and I'm not in the mood to upgrade my amp just yet. Will this amp put my new Dyns at risk?

Thanks!

No, the amp itself would be the one at risk. But, most amps can drive a 4ohm load easily and it should supply more power into the lower impedence. Look on the back of the amp next to the binding posts and see if it says anything about speaker impedence. If your still not sure, contact Marantz.
