mpedance
:
All CV XLS home speakers are compatible with amplifier ratings
from 4 to 8 ohms. If your amplifier is rated at 4 or 6 ohms, you can
generally play the speaker as loud and as hard as you want and
the energy transfer between the amplifier and your Cerwin-Vega!
speaker will be optimal. If using an 8-ohm amplifier, you can play
loud, but monitor your amplifier’s temperature if you start playing
at extreme volume levels, as the speaker may want to suck more
power from your amp than it can provide.
