I recently acquired a set of 1.2TL's. They are described on the Polk website as "Nominal 8 Ohm" speakers. My amp has a 4 ohm setting and an 8 ohm setting. Which should I use? I am not bi-amping.

Amplification: ARC Reference 110 w/KT150s; Cary Audio SLP-05 w/Ultimate Upgrade
Vinyl: VPI HW19 MK III (Heavily Modded); Origin Live Silver Tonearm; Hana ML Cart; Pete Riggle VTAF; VPI TNT Platter; SAMA; Iphono3
Digital: Aurender N100H; Benchmark DAC1

The original spec table reads "Compatible with 8 ohm outputs". Use the 8 ohm tap would be my recommendation.

Welcome to the forums and one more time.... can't go wrong with the 8 ohm setting.

A more acurate rating puts them at 6 ohms, so use the 8 ohm tap.Political Correctness'.........defined
"A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a t-u-r-d by the clean end."

SRSs are pegged by Polk at 4 ohm.
Other SRS trivia includes max output at 125dB and efficiency of 93dB.
