Yes, same way. DF more than a few is useless as speakers have a DC
resistance in excess of a few ohms, resulting in their impedance
never dropping below that value. Odd crossovers might skew it though..

The most I can see you'd ever need is 10 (i.e. .8 ohm Zo vs. 8 ohm
speakers). SS only has a high DF due to its design.

I've noticed that solid-state amplifiers tend to have much
higher damping factors than tube amps. Is damping factor measured the
same way for both types of amps (load impedance divided by output
impedance)?
What's a good minimum damping factor that won't introduce
audible artifacts, and is that minimum number the same for both
solid-state and tube amplifiers?

Thanks,
