[QUOTE="ludo, post: 56834, member: 691"] This is a difficult thing. There are many approaches to the answer. One can start with: "IN PRINCIPIO ERAT VERBUM..." but that will take long. Perhaps one should start with: "All things being equal..." But you know they never are. Eh? So to fast-forward to a conclusion, an ordinary linear amp driving a 4 Ohm speaker will get hotter than the same amp driving an 8 Ohm speaker equally loudly. That's about it really. Everything else depends on unavailable details, which may provide some exceptions to this conclusion even. [/QUOTE]
