Is the Wharfedale D330 an easy to drive speaker?
Wharfedale D330
CHECK PRICE

There are two main factors that set how easy or difficult a speaker is to drive, these are Speaker Sensitivity and Impedance. A speaker rated lower Ohms requires more current than a higher Ohm speaker. Similarly, a speaker with lower sensitivity requires more power to reach the same volume as a speaker with higher sensitivity.

Wharfedale D330's nominal impedance level is 8 Ohms but can go down to as low as 4.1 ohms. 8 Ohms is pretty much the standard impedance amongst stereo speakers and amplifiers so Wharfedale D330 is not considered a difficult to drive speaker from Impedance perspective.

Wharfedale D330 has a sensitivity of 88 dB.
