Chora 826

Headroom Notes

91 dB at 2.83 V on an 8-ohm nominal, so no conversion is needed — but the nominal that makes the conversion trivial is the same nominal that hides the 2.9-ohm minimum. Focal's PDF data sheet is the fuller document here: the web page does not show the minimum at all.

Amplification Warning

8 ohms nominal, 2.9 ohms minimum — the deepest dip in this batch and a ratio of nearly three to one. An amplifier chosen on the nominal will meet less than a third of the load it was picked for, and it will meet it in the bass, at full excursion. The PDF data sheet carries both numbers; the web product page shows only the nominal. Choose on the 2.9.
