Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo Dumb Question

The person I sold my NAD 320BEE to asked me if it was possible to hook up a second pair of speakers even though there is only room for one pair?? Is this possible? I know this is a dumb question but I am not very electronic minded.

if it has no A/B, don't plug two sets of speakers into one binding post. that would be very, very bad

Your friend could always run a line out from the pre-amp section out to an exterior amp and sun the second room from that.

Danman,

If the NAD is compatible with a 4-ohm load (tell him to look at the owner's manual), he could hook up two pairs of 8-ohm speakers in parallel to the one set of speaker outputs. The combined impedance that the amp would "see" would be 4 ohms, and that would be okay IF the NAD will drive 4 ohms without overheating or the protection circuitry shutting it down.

But he has to know the nominal impedance rating of the two sets of speakers he wants to run, and if one set is lower than 8 ohms, he shouldnt't run two pairs from one output.

Regards,
