We just used one of these for the 1st time (3160 model) and it has zapped 2 Episode amplifiers. When hooking up a multimeter, it is displaying 2 ohms. It is a 4 ohm speaker but that seems very low and might explain why it has killed 2 amplifiers.
Anyone know if that reading seems abnormal? I don't have another unit to test at the moment.
Thanks in advance
Your meter only measures DC resistance, which is always lower than the nominal impedance. I would want to know the crossover and level settings for the amplifiers, ventilation, how many pieces of equipment were powered by the circuit, etc. We don't really have enough info to work with. Which Episode amplifiers?
Is there a specific reason the Kasa500 amplifier wasn't used? Snap AV carries that, too.
