In plainer terms, ENGINEERS:

Obey the specs!


But what ARE the specs on such a vague spec.

Try this:

B&W 800 D3
Nominal Impedence 8 ohms (minimum 3.0 ohms)



** Can you post an impedance curve for the model ?

The maker says 8 ohms nominal and B&W are not likely to be liars.

Bet that 3 ohm minimum is way outisde the power band of music programme.

FYI:

The Quad ESL57 is quoted as nominal 16ohm, with a minimum of 1.7 ohms.

1.7ohms at 18kHz, only.
