RE: Re: 4ohm or 8ohm?

Thanks Mark,=20
I preferred the long answer :-).
=20
Now, when I have them installed (3 so far) how do I connect them all to
the PC in node 0?
I want to play mp3s and vaw announcements from server's sound card (mini
ITX)
I have no space for full size Hi-Fi amplifier, I would prefer something
smaller.
Speakers are 15W(RMS)/30W(music power) each.
And, eventually, I want to have 7 of them.
Any pointers to small, suitable amp?
I think that it should be fixed gain so volume is controlled by PC.
Or any amplifier can be controlled that way?
Cheers,
Nik

Do you want the short answer or the long answer:

The short answer: Go for the 8 ohm version

The long answeR: Go for the 8 ohm version unless your amp is very odd
