This isn't a good assumption to make. In fact, the two could even be the
same amplifier!

A typical amplifier rated at 500W into 8 ohms should also be rated 2000W
into 2 ohms, and therefore ought to have _lower_ device resistance than
an amplifier rated at 500W into 2 ohms.

Unfortunately many don't. Which is why a lot of amplifiers rated 500W
into 8 ohms are only rated 1500W into 2 ohms... where is that other 500W
going?
