window and you'll throw away 50% of the amplifier power, but it will work.

Eh? As I understand it, that would cause significant frequency
response errors, as the varying impedance of the speaker consumes
varying amounts of the output voltage, due to the series resistor.

**I did say that damping factor will go out the window. Frequency repsonse
abberrations are an artefact of this.

I think you downplayed the negative consequences, though. IMO, adding
the series 4-ohm resistor is really not an acceptable solution.

Naturally, with speakers like
Magneplannars, such problems are almost insignificant.

Does the OP have Maggies?
