[QUOTE="Bennett Prescott, post: 117736, member: 4"] Re: Determining Load Ratings When Not Specified (16 ohm) Hey Kip, Two thoughts: [LIST=1] [*]You can pretty much bet on 1/2 the 8-ohm "power" (same voltage into an easier load) with "normal" amps (no tube whatever). Frankly, how far can you possibly be off? 1/4dB? [*]I would worry much more about the impedance of your woofers, many "16 ohm" woofers are more like maybe 12 ohms, so you may be delivering more power than you think. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
