    question. i love a particular speaker after having a collection of 300 searched in the garbages and tested them all trying to find REALISM. this particular super good speaker is alone. i want to buy its twin brother to do the stereo. but on internet the closest i see is one almost identical but is 2 ohms instead of the 6 ohms of the one i have. what happens? will one side sound half the volume? . my amplifier is lenco a600 (austria 1978) and i plan to use this for the midi piano for virtual instruments. i am not sure if purchuasing because it's not a perfect match. and ithe shipping is quite pricey. thank you.

      it depends on the impedance of your power amp. does it have multiple taps?

    • @arcadepiano
      @arcadepiano 28 дней назад

      @@DrZAmplification as you could check out at google images, this amplifier doesn't say anything about impedances. it does have 2 pairs of outputs so it can feed speakers: left 1, right 1, and or speaker right 2 speaker left 2. since the speaker i own is 6 ohms, and the one i am buying on ebay is 2 ohms, which in theory will sound 3 times louder and ask 3 times more energy from the amplifier, then maybe i could feed that speaker from both outputs at same time, then in theory the shared load might be like a conversion to 4 ohms, hence avoiding the dangerous overheat of just one side of the stereo. it's the closest speaker i could find on the internet, not a perfect match, but apparently identical, except for the ohms.

    So, in all honesty…I own a perform with 2 Dr Z amps. Indoor smaller venues, Carmen Ghia combo w/ Creamback and outside, large events, Therapy Head w/ Dr Z 1x12” cab. Celestion Gold. My question is can you really tell, LIVE, the difference between any of these amps? Make no mistake, I love them, but other than a very High Fidelity sound, there pretty much the same. Live, that is…not beadroom application.

    • @DrZAmplification
      @DrZAmplification 2 месяца назад

      if anything you can hear more a difference the louder they are than quieter... the nuance comes out at playing volumes... and also something that is often overlooked is the player's experience and feel. A great painter can make a masterpiece with a brush designed to cover a barn, or a fine horse-hair brush, but which do you think they feel they can express themselves with more articulately? I'd invite you to come to the shop some time and play a variety of our amps. I can guarantee you will have a preference between say a Z Wreck vs a Z-28.
