Looked at the whathifi links. Not a fan
of this trend toward lower impedance
in home speakers these days. A couple
8s in their listings, but mostly 6ohm or
lower. My 1995 JVC receiver specifies
8-16ohm, but it sounds alright to me,
has Pro Logic surround, and is likely
the last main listening room receiver
I will ever own! I just hope down the
road - knock on particle board! - I will
still be able to find 8-12ohm speakers
for it.



Lower impedence of speakers is hardly a criteria in itself (be it pro or
anti) , but may be a *constraint* due to the output capability of
existing an owned amp, or the spec of an amp that has been decided to
use in a system.
