I think some of us want a simple answer, and some of us want to know it all.
I think Unlunf (sorry, don't know your actual name) did a credible job with this
in regard to
rule-of-thumb recommendations for speaker loads. I always understood, you could
go
from a 4-ohm to 8-ohm impedence without destroying your amp. However, going from
an
8-ohm to 4-ohm was taking a real risk of substantial damage. Likewise, 16-ohm to
8-
ohm load. OR, heaven forbid, 16-ohm to 4-ohm (nuclear meltdown, my friends).
So, from a pragmatic point of view, the short and sweet answer was accurate for
us amp
fiddlers.
HOWEVER, the simplest (and most helpful answer) is, MATCH THE LOAD AND WATTAGE
SPECIFICATIONS OF YOUR SPEAKER(S) TO THE AMP MANUFACTURER'S
RECOMMENDATIONS!
Always trying to keep the peace,
