[QUOTE="thevic24, post: 8210019, member: 575973"] most all of the specs, as far as thd, thd+n, damping factor, head room, channel separation and so on are usually taken at 4 ohms. Now if you have an amp(just an example) that is 500 w rms @ 4 ohms with .08%thd+n and has 1.5db of head room and a damping factor or ...200..well now load that amp at 2 ohms. For the most part, the thd will have a "big" jump, the head room will nearly be cut in half...if not more and you can loose up to half of your damping factor as well. Plus the efficiency of the amp will go down a good bit as well. (not all amps will have the same effects as bad as others will...class a/b amps seem to do well vs others but still lose out some into lower loads..) [/QUOTE]
