Plinius Audio Odeon Power Amplifier - Manual (Page 17)

15 MULTICHANNEL AMPLIFIER
Loudspeaker Selection
Your Plinius Odeon Multichannel Amplifier is designed for use with high fidelity
loudspeakers. It should not be used to operate with any other type of appliance or
equipment.
Be certain that your loudspeakers can handle most of the rated output power of this
amplifier. You may find loudspeaker specifications confusing or misleading, so you
should discuss this with your audio dealer prior to purchase. As a general rule, the
use of high power (200 Watt RMS or greater) loudspeakers is recommended and
desirable. However, our experience indicates that medium to low power loudspeakers
(100 to 200 Watt RMS) are quite often suitable for use on this amplifier, provided the
volume is maintained at a level where no distortion is audible.
Impedance of the loudspeaker load is important to ensure the rated performance of
this amplifier. Any combination of loudspeakers may be used, but the total average
impedance load for each channel should be within a range of 4 to 8 ohms. Again,
if you have doubts about the impedance of your loudspeaker configuration, we
recommend you speak to your Plinius dealer.
