I have an idea the LS35a has 16 ohm resistance.
Is this true?
My recollection is that they have been made in several different impdeances
including 16 and 11 ohms.
If so, how do ordinary amps hold up?
High impedance loads are easier to drive than low impedance loads because
they draw less current. Of course it takes more voltage to deliver a given
amount of power to them. The speaker is relatively inefficient for a number
of reasons, including the fact that it uses a passive crossover that
attenuates the midrange in order to pump up the bass.
More to the point - how do the speakers hold up if you try to play them
loud. The answer is not that well. We've learned a ton about building small
drivers with improved dynamic range in the past 50 or so years.
