Default Advice To Others Wanting to Build A Stereo System

not unusual to see an "8 ohm" speaker dip down to 5 ohms somewhere near the cabinet resonance"

So say it's a really cheap plywood speaker cabinet
with a resonace around 200Hz. Is that impedance
engineered to be lower at that freq?

And again, my gut instinct tells me that the lower the
impedance the EASIER it will be to drive that speaker,
especially where that speaker's impedance valleys
out. So why wouldn't the cabinet's barrel-sounding
frequency be assigned a HIGHER impedance?
