The specs for the Benchmark AHB2 are as follows for power outputting from it.
The Perlisten R7T speakers are Rated as a 4ohm Nominal. I realize that if one were to buy 2 of them they could be used to bi amp the speakers with each delivering power to the left and right at 190 watts per channel, but thats a loss of 120watts per amp when compared to the 480 watts in the bridged mono configuration into 6 ohms. Would driving the Perlisten R7T 4 ohm speakers with a 6 ohm nominal load from the amp in bridged mode be possible or would this damage the amps? I seem to remember reading once it is better for an amp to have a lower impedance than for the speaker to as the current draw at a lower ohm can be more destructive but I dont know if I am remembering this right. Thanks.
Continuous Average Output Power
< 0.0003 % THD+N at full rated power, 20 Hz to 20 kHz- 100 Watts per channel into 8 Ohms, both channels driven
- 130 Watts per channel into 6 Ohms, both channels driven
- 190 Watts per channel into 4 Ohms, both channels driven
- 240 Watts per channel into 3 Ohms, both channels driven
- 200 Watts into 16 Ohms, bridged mono
- 380 Watts into 8 Ohms, bridged mono
- 480 Watts into 6 Ohms, bridged mono
