b&w 803s (8ohms) on 4ohms McIntosh MC202?

[specialized]

Hi there.. I borrowed McIntosh MC202 which different terminals for different ohms. Too bad 8 ohms connector is broken, so i can't use it

What if i connect my 803s (which are 8 ohms), to 4 ohms connectors on Mac?


Thank u

@Darko,

where the problem?

You can go with 4ohm well? I have a Mc205 and you can switch from 8 and 4ohm...

if your mc run only at 4ohm go with 4.... :B

I wanted to ask first to not damage something

Becouse speakers are declared 8 ohms, and i can't use 8 ohm connector on Mac. Only 4 ohm or 2 ohm. (8 ohm connector is broken on the mac i got to try).

So without confirmation from someone that have more knowledge i dont wanted to risk..

What other guys think as well?

Thee has been a lot of postings about running B&W speakers at 4ohms with Mac. I have the 803S with a Mac 352. I used the speakers at 8ohms for about a year and recently switched to 4. I found a sublte difference in teh highs and mid. A definite improvement.

Before this, I asked McIntosh and B&W abpout this direction. Neither warned against and many posters here and on other forums recommended for it. I am going to keep mine at 4.

Any one here used the 4 ohm tap for a set of 805S ?
