On front doors, gen2 has MIDs and High separated. This means the minimum output impedance of the AUD for each channel might be lower than gen1.
MIDs and Highs are in parallel on Gen1, the total resistance of the (MID +HIGH) speakers are little bit more than 6 ohms. If I remember correctly.
You need to know what is the resistance of the new gen2 MIDs and tweeters then you need to match them with your current speakers. But still, you will need to rewire the fronts. For the rear ones, you need to measure the combine resistance of the gen2 and then match yours if there is a difference.
As I said in the beginning, unless you got the gen2 AUD for free, it does not worth it if you already have gen1 B&W.
IMAY2023, thank you. You are absolutely right.
They are all louder (center and front - much, rear and celling - less) with the Gen2 amp. I see that the speakers in the front doors and the center speaker don't have capacitors in Gen 2. That's ok, I can replace them on occasion. I have several speakers with silver cone, but not a full set
But what about the amp's software?
