[QUOTE="alternativeroute, post: 89816, member: 1115"] When all is said and done it is quite hard to tell what speaker impedance is going to tax the amp without looking at the impedance plot of the speakers... As an example I have connected 4ohm speakers twice to my Arcam Alpha 6. The old Jamos I connected taxed the amp and after 20 to 30 minutes of moderate to loud listening the amp was uncomfortably hot whereas I have connected simple car coaxials to the amp (rated at 4 ohms) and played the amp at loud levels... The amp barely broke a sweat, just getting moderately warm on top... [/QUOTE]
