L110 vs. 104/2
I have a question regarding how to A/B these speakers. I recently upgraded speakers and amps, and now don't know how it all goes together.
My problem is this....My L-110's (recently rebult to like new mechanically) are 8ohm, my 'new' Kef 104/2 are 4ohm. My amplifier (dbx BX-3) also recently aquired, has a switch on the back that says: A or B= 2-6 ohm/A+B= 4-12 ohm on one side on the other it says A or B= 6-16/A+B= 12-16 ohm .
So..if I'm reading this right, if I use the Kef's alone as 'A' system I would have it set to A= 2-6 ohm, right? and if I use the JBL's alone as A system I would set it to A= 6-16 ohm right?
Easy so far... now what if I want use Kef's for A and JBL's for B? Or worse yet, what if I want to play A and B? Did any of this make sense? So if 'A' is 4ohm and 'B' is 8ohm, the load is what? 12 or ? I would then use A+B=4-12ohm, right? But then its only set right to play the Kef's alone as 'A'. To play the JBL's alone as 'B' I would have to set the switch to A or B=2-6ohm, right? (I think I can Bi-amp 2 sets of speakers from this one amp, but I have more studying to do.... )
Anyway, back on topic...to add to the 'problem' this amp is 4channel mono so I have to learn how to bridge too...If I'm reading this right, I could give the L110's 550W/ch if I wanted to get all 'Mad Scientist' with this...
I would appreiciate any advice you all have to give me... I don't want burn the house down...(not 'till I get my stuff out, anyway..)
Untill about 8 months ago all I knew about stereos was plug 'em in... but then I got the L110's,( gave away my old Energy2's) and my old recievers sounded like hell. So I upgraded from a Technics reciever Sa-r377 to a dbx CX-3 preamp and a Rotel tuner, and above mentioned amp. A little better, eh? (and a CD player from le-14 thumper, thanx)
Thanx guys!
P.S. (You guys have taught me everything I know...but not everything YOU know )
