- I have a couple of things I'm curious about. I'm looking for relatively
- basic definitions, but not the kind of definition you'd have to give
- your grandparents....
-
-
- 1> What exactly is impedence? I know it has to do with speaker
- resistance, but how do amplifiers react to it? What are common
- impedences? I know that my Infinity speakers are rated at 6 ohms, but
- what does that mean, exactly? Is it better to have an amp hooked up for
- a higher or lower impedence than the speakers if you can't match it
- exactly? What are the effects of either one?
-
- 2> Is the loudness control on receivers anything more than a bass
- booster?
-
-
- Thanks for any help!
