higher impedance easier on electric system?

[QUOTE="neo_styles, post: 8024373, member: 644168"] Keep in mind he's talking about net efficiency of the system in this example. More heat is generated due to the higher current carry, but you're also talking about significantly higher amounts of current at each impedance stage relative to the one before it. So while a system can be 80-85 percent efficient at 8 ohms, it might drop down to 50-60 percent efficiency at 1 ohm, but the overall amount of current being passed is still larger. [/QUOTE]
