For an expalnation of why damping factor is a pretty meaningless
specification, I refer you to:

http://www.diyspeakers.net/Articles/...G%20FACTOR.pdf

The article is erroneous, for the reasons Sander gives.
In particular, very high damping factors are measured under small signal
conditions. However, when there is a large bass note, small signal
conditions do not apply.
Aside from intentional low frequency rolloff, this accounts for why some
amplifiers have much stronger bass than others.
Damping factor is an extremely important measurement, but it varies with
load and frequency, something not understood by the little mckelviphibians
of the world.

Thank you, Sander, for adding your voice to the discussion.
