Default Amps at 2 ohms?

Even if the effects aren't audible, you may be causing damage to your
amp. Depends on the build quality. It seems to me, especially for
anything but subs, that running any amp into 2 ohms as opposed to 4,
will produce a difference in output at the speaker that is almost
inaudible. Even if you double the amp's output(doubtful), how many db
can you gain? Enough to notice? It takes something in the neighborhood
of 10 times the output to increase 10db, so it's doubtful it's
noticeable to run 2 ohms vs. 4 ohms. Why not just buy quality amps and
set gains properly for a nice system balance into 4 ohms? I think this
whole 2 ohm debate for the average amp is overrated.
