Just changed original speakers from my 210HD130 (2275-130 EX, SS driver) with 2 Eminence legend 105 8 ohms, ie total load 4 ohms as there are in parallel and select amp on 4 ohms. |

Yes what ohm and how you wire it makes a difference in sound as much as what speaker is being used in the first place.you can wire it up in sreies , parallel,or even both strait(second speaker using the external speaker jack,lots of options hope it just don't cost ya a fortune to find the one you love. |

Thank's Bill for your comments. Besides type of speakers, my question was generaly speaking, 8 ohms loading speakers will provide more deeper sound (more bass, less brightness, less trebble) than 4 ohms loading speakers ? |

Still thinking... |

I'm more interested in learning, when you say that the bass was worse with two speakers, if you had the speakers wired out of phase. In parallel it should be hot to hot, return to rerurn. Also, did you CHECK the speakers thwmselves and see if they were marke correctly? Out of phase speakers WILL sound thin. I don't like overloading the OT with a 16 ohm load on 8 ohms but it should take it. |

What I like to do to bring up the mid's and cut the bright down a little is to plug into input #2 on the amp. It's not as hot as input #1, and it's great for a quick fix when you need it. |

Yes you are right Dave, I've already done that especially when using active effects. Now every thing are back in order and the amp sound awesome, headroom, bass, trebble, mids are all fine. |

Just the thread I needed. I'm down to a 65 2-10. Basically I am scared of playing electric since I don't have any Gibbys set up (hum buckers), which pups really seem to snarl on a MM amp. But the other day I fired up the 2-10. After a few minutes of annoying static and other quirks, she came to life...dead quiet at full volume depending on where the knobs on the no 1 channel were set (they seem to affect channel 2 on this amp~a thing I always wonder about as well). Terry...if you're around...does this mean anything? The amp has always shined. |

My guess is that the 8 position acts like a mild compressor. It seemed a little louder, but within a flatter range of frequency. |
