The problem is having the option to easily change taps, and where my head goes at the first listen of something that either sounds a bit too dark, "need to be connected to 8 ohm taps", or to bright, "wonder how this would sound on 4 ohm taps?" If there was a very subtle change in tone, that would be the clear answer. So the problem remains that I really do like the sound from both, almost to the point where I have two sets of speakers. This began as trying to find an answer to taming the high frequencies at 8 ohms, having reached the conclusion that was the connection these speakers needed. I guess now, after re-connecting to 4 ohms I've been reminded on that particular connection, there isn't any tweaking required, even if it isn't 100% ideal on all recordings all the time.
Really appreciate your feedback on this topic. It may be an issue specific to the CM10's also. It would be great if another CM owner would weigh in on this.
How are the 802's sounding at this point? |
I hear you... I am OCD like that too and would be very leary of sticking with the 4ohm if I knew the 8ohm improved certain aspects of the sound. But I also agree that sometimes whatever sounds better and gets you to listen to more music is probably the best and more ideal setting.
Regarding my 802 Diamonds, I am really beginning to get them dialed in. A fellow AA came by my place today to check them out and may buy them. We have not yet decided completely. If we choose to proceed with the sale and purchase of the 802 diamond, then I will be getting a "next level" speaker for myself.
The first up will be a Strad. And then the next will probably be another diamond, would really love to own an 800 diamond at some point in my audio hobby.
