Hi,

I am using the compression drivers with the "30w" outputs. There is 8 and 16 ohm versions of the drivers I am using. From what I know, I would go with the 8 ohm version.

What is the official recommendation and why?

Best,

Max

  Output filters of Class-D amplifiers will have an impact on the very high frequencies. The filter is optimized for 4-8 Ohm. Therefore, I would recommend the 8 Ohm version.
