Hi guys,
see http://muyiovatki.dk/yorkville/
comments appreciated, is the 4 Ohm box broken?
Looking at one of many assertions made on the web page:
"the 4 Ohm box is less efficient, a LOT less efficient
than the 8 Ohm box. It should be 3 dB louder, not some
6 dB less loud, but that is what it is."
snip
When I read this, I think maybe the writer thinks that one
4 ohm version of the "same" speaker should act as if it
were two 8 ohm versions in parallel.
"It's 3dB louder" is only true when the amp driving them/it
is current-constrained, and even then, it's messier than
"add 3dB".
