Why is SQ better at 4 or 8 ohms compared to 1 or less?

[QUOTE="smgreen20, post: 6994416, member: 560505"] You lost me. An amp 86% efficient doesn't mean it will supply the same signal quality and strength 86% of the time. It means that the current that the amp is drawing from the electrical system, 86% of it is in form of musical output power, and the remaining 14% is dispersed in heat. Example: If an amp is drawing 100 amperes of current, 86% of it went to the amplification of the music in watts/power, and the remaining 14 amperes of current went in heat, sense no amp on the market can be 100% efficient. Unless I miss-understood you???? [/QUOTE]
