Do 4-ohm speakers REALLY play louder than 8-ohm speakers? 🔊 Let’s find out in this vintage sound comparison test!
Many people assume that a 4-ohm speaker will always draw more power and play louder than an 8-ohm speaker on the exact same amplifier setting. But in this audio battle, we are putting that theory to the test! On the left, we have a beautiful 1970s KENWOOD KL-5050D (Made in Japan, 8 Ohms). On the right, we have the 1980s Elektronika Praha RS 434 equipped with 4-ohm vintage Tesla drivers (ARN 6604 & ARZ 4604).
Using an instant A/B audio switch, the result is clear: The 8-ohm Kenwood is significantly louder! This is a perfect example of why speaker sensitivity and acoustic efficiency often matter much more than just the impedance rating. Put on your headphones, listen to the difference, and let me know in the comments: Did you expect the 8-ohm Kenwood to be this loud? 👇

Мне Старенькая Акустика Больше По звучанию понравилась !!!
It would be interesting to set them to the same db level and then listen to them.
I have similar speakers – Kenwood KL-5090. They’re fantastic! And those beautiful grilles – simply amazing. 😍
4 Om має звучати голосніше?!!?
Formidable son Kenwwood avec uniquement la façade!
Efficiency on the Kenwood is like 96 db. On the Tesla its like 85 db… THATS WHY.
Kenwood 👌🇵🇪
So fun to watch these videos. 😂 ( 4 vs 8 ohm or speaker sensitivity) Love those old wooden speakers. Take care.
triple.777 …
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Kenwood ❤
Eficensy
Kenwood is much clearer
Kenwood
As much as i admire the guys enthusiasm, i dont understand what the point of any of his posts is.
But he seems to be having fun, so maybe thats enough!
Ask me about speaker
Kenwood
Очень показательно! У Кенвуда 8 ом, а у Теслы 4 ом. Подключены к одному усилителю, мощность на колонке от Теслы в два раза выше, а громкость ниже, т.к. у Кенвуда выше чувствительность. При этом звучание достойное у обоих.
Please for your next video get a switch that can level match okay thank you
