In Reply to: Wanting to believe that one's speakers are a "difficult load" and require "100's of hours" of break-in ... posted by Richard BassNut Greene on March 31, 2005 at 10:36:57:
Hmmm, most electrostatics (including the Innersound Eros, which I own, amazing speaker), Magnepans, any ribbon planar, plenty of dynamic speakers like the aformentioned Krells, etc.I had an 85 watt/channel Yamaha amp at the start of the 90s when I was stepping into the hifi world. It was a midfi amp, seemed like a step above most of the Sony stuff at the time. It was specific in the manual and on the back, if I rememer corretly, that it did no want to see average loads under 6 ohms. The store clerk whom I had bought the Yamaha from sold me a JBL system (ugh) a couple years later that was 4 ohms nominal. They worked fine for a while (I never listened that loud), then the receiver fried when my roomies had it turned up a bit. I had it fixed, it was never cranked that load, but fried out again in about a year. I did not bother to fix it again, but when I told the place that fixed it in the first place that I had been running a 4 ohm load on it all the time they pretty much thought that was a good reason for the amp frying twice.
