Thanks for the complement Brett44! And thanks to everyone who has responded, including Roy. I have learned a great deal and the information has truly helped me make a sound decision. Elevick, I'll let you know after I have spent some time with the CAV 50.
Tube amp and speaker impedence matching
I recently purchased a Conrad Johnson CAV-50 and am actively looking for the "right" speakers. I found a couple of speakers (GMA Europas for one - rated 4 ohm) I would like to purchase, but I am concerned about presenting my amp with an improper impedence match and causing damage. The CAV- 50 is rated "45 watts per channel from 30 Hz to 15 kHz, both channels driven into 4, 8, or 16 ohms". I'm pretty new to all this so any help will be appreciated.
