WATT-Puppy-Joule TherapyThe Joule's don't "like" an impedance under 4 ohms, the Sophia's dip to 3.26 @ 220 Hz but the Joule's handle that slight dip. My guess is that a 6 ohm rated speaker won't be a problem!! posted about 17 years ago | View comment | |
WATT-Puppy-Joule TherapyDaveyf sorry I misread your post thought you "considered" them. Can they drive the Homage's 86.5 db 6 ohm load that would be the question and I don't know the answer. If they can the beau... posted about 17 years ago | View comment | |

WATT-Puppy-Joule TherapyHaven't been able to "balance" the amps, the biases weren't stable and the volume wasn't evenly balanced. Time for new tubes, replaced the (4) 6350 Sylvanias and the (4) 6DJ8's Amperex Or... posted about 17 years ago | View comment | |
