Good morning : )

Can you survive impedance mismatch?
I am convinced that the most common question is not "how can I properly match amplifier and speaker impedance?", but "how much of an impedance mismatch can I get away with before something explodes?"
According to legend and conventional wisdom, solid state (transistor) amplifiers can drive higher impedances than their rating demands. So a transistor amp with a label saying "4-ohm" will drive 4, 8, and 16 ohms with no troubles. You can go up but not down. Don't try 2 ohms.

Older legends say that tube amplifiers can drive lower impedances than their rating demands. So a tube amp with a label saying "8-ohm" may drive 4 and 8 ohms. You can go down but not up. Don't try 16 ohms. And never run a tube amplifier without speakers attached. Other legends of the tube age say that any attempt to use a tube amp with speakers of different impedance may cause damage to the amplifier.

I have not tried either of these combinations, so don't blame me if it causes problems.

Honestly, you are better off with a proper match. Just because your tube amp with 8-ohm output survives driving a 4-ohm speaker doesn't mean that it likes driving that load. You are probably reducing the life time of the amp.

One question.

Can a tube amplifier with 5 ohms output load drive LS3/5A well?

Thanks in advance.

Reposted from the well-known Hong Kong Tube Group by Alan Leung, a vintage lover : )

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/hktubeaudio/message/17450

Sunday usually is my family day and my wife wanted to go to Time square shopping, so I dropped by the 8/F,because the hi-fi shop was the only place could offer me a seat with some free music.

I walked into a shop with series of Naim and ProAc gears, I requested the salesman to play top of the line Naim CDS3 CD player with several tracks of CD from Buena Vista Social Club. Honestly, the sound effect?and overall tone balance was not bad. However, the presentation slightly lack of pleasure and relaxing mood. Moreover, the natural musical flow
was also slightly very weak to my ears. I strongly believe the listening result is affected by the preamp and power amp, but also the limitation of ProAc speaker. The satisfaction and the enjoyment of the
music interaction between the players bring out the Cuba mood of the music, since the pleasure mood was not strong enough thats why the emotional expression was weak to my ears. Afterward, I requested the salesman switch to TIS CD, I recommended he played 1st
track on the CD (Blue male song - Try to remember?.
The voice was slightly thin to my ears and weak in mellow texture, but also missing the sadness mood and smooth emotional flow. Honestly, the Naim CDS3 sounds very analog if compared to many expensive modern CD players on the market today. The salesman told me that this CD player sound close to sound of LP on the market, but I really didnt think so. Before I left the shop, the salesman quoted me HKD96,000.00 for the Naim CDS3 CD player with PS2 power supply after
discounted? Believe it or not I can easily tell that the USD150.00 dame old Philips CD100 can sound much more analog than the expensive Naim CDS3 for sure, but the problem is Philip CD100 slightly lack of extension at both end and weak of details. However, the higher model Philip CD300 can offer better extension, details
and body, but also it has much analog and better
musical flow than the Naim CDS3 for sure, but only sold at around USD200.00 in Europe second hand market.
The only problem of CD100 and CD300 are CDM0 laser module are very old. The lifespan of CDM0 is very limit and it will run out slowing within 2 ? years if you play it often and not take good care of it.
Recently, I have A/B tested with the Marantz CD73 and Philips CD300, actually the Marantz CD73 is a Japanese version of Philips CD300. However, the Japanese made CD73 sounds much more focus, details with better extension of Philips CD300, but sorry to say that the Philips CD300 sounds much musical, smoother with
better body and mellow tone than then Marantz CD73 under A/B test. Believe it or not the Marantz CD73 sold twice as much as Philips CD300 on the market. Ialways did not know why people like to pay more money for less enjoyment of music. Actually, the sound quality is not always reflecting on price, but the market demand and supply. I still believe trust your own ears and do more A/B test before you made your final decision is the only way to avoid wasting our
money and time. I always prefer serious audiophile should try earliest period CD player, because they are not competing with the other brands or competitor, but actually they are competing with the sound of LP during early 80s?

I believe that higher bits will offer better detail, extension and high resolution of sound, but it will also bring out the fast, sharp, harsh, solidity of sound. In fact, we are just playing a trade off game in the hi-fi world. Personally, I believe the emotional expression and musical tone is much more important than extension, details and resolution.

Best regards
Alan

Hi Ginger,

Here is something that I want to share with you regarding impedence mataching between speakers and power amp.
Tube amp:
Principle working theroy is to amplify more on volatage than current (impedance). Simply look at their working DC tells you what its all about. Connect a 16 ohms speaker to a 8 ohms power amp would alter the output transformer ratio between primary and secondary, hence change the primary load of the output transformer. Consquence is different cut off frequency for the output transformer. Worst case is higher distortion when driving low ohms speakers. More likely to damage speakers than the power amp. Yes, you are right, make sure circuit is complete before applying signal to a power amp: connect a resistor to the power amp output terminals is all you need. You may be able to get away without resistor if no input signal apply.

I am sure there are people with better knowledge in transisitor amp than me.
Ohms law cannot give all practical answers for music reproudtion but give is reference to all who beleive in knowledge.
Volts X amps = Watts or Volts / amps = ohms

[#8021] 音響界五大隱憂    
Hi Gingers,

Thanks for asking. mine is actually a pair of TL10.1. Well, a bit under power but match well with my Gold 15" and York corner. Sound brighter and faster with KT61/EL33 and a little softer with 6L6G. I will take a picture and post it in 33 as they seems less popular than most other Leak.
Oh, this may be a little disappointed to some of Tannoy fans, I simply prefer Lowther. For full Orchestra, Tannoy has an upper hand but Lowther is more live like and finer in detail.
Shall invite you guys for an afternnon chart and music once I my house is done at around Christmas.

I am waiting for the arrival of Santa Claus : )
Before the arrival of Santa Claus, please post photo to share.
No offence here. Lowther is still a mystery to me : )

Furthermore I would like to audition the Leak TL/10 : )

Can you bring them to my place, before X'Mas?
