[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 3397601, member: 555320"] Considering I'm not "that guy", I don't feel any obligation to try to explain why he answered the way he did. But I can explain why he is wrong.....which I have already done. Why ? You [I]certainly[/I] can't hear it and it is more than an acceptable level of distortion. You aren't gaining anything by going any lower in distortion......you won't hear the difference. And yes, I say that with confidence. Well, possibly 1) the amplifier wasn't rated for .5ohm or 2) maybe it shouldn't have been, or 3) that was an "SPL burp only" rating, or 4) maybe the person doing the measuring didn't know how to properly measure ? Lots of variables. Regardless; .5ohm is getting rather far down there. 1ohm has become almost a standard and it's not uncommon, unconventional or difficult for an amplifier designed to operate at 1ohm to do so with acceptable (i.e. inaudible) levels of distortion.
