Mark, If you are hung up on proving that you're right and I'm wrong,
don't waste your time. And set your mind at ease, I haven't cringed at
anything you've written. If you happen to be of the belief that an
average amp is working at it's optimum in every way into 2 ohms, and not
degrading the sound in any way, and at the same time not running hotter
and suffering any long term effects, audible or not, fine. But I'm
hoping young guys who may be just starting in this hobby(work?), and may
have these average amps of the world, will realize that SOME
recommendations, such as this debate, are overrated because they are
often nothing but an ego boost. As in, "I'm running my speakers in
parallel. It's pouring out 100 watts per instead of 50. The differences
I can hear are staggering." That's not true, although some have been led
to believe it. If a system sounds great with a 2 ohm set-up, then it
will sound better into 4. It's a beneficial move. In spite of what some
say, if the system is tuned properly, 2 ohms is unnecessary. And if you
have an amp that won't play loud enough and clean enough onto 4 ohms,
then it's inferior in some way and certainly won't benefit from running
into 2.
