My dB Plus 880s are speced 8ohms. Not all that outlandish.

I am not always reading this from a desktop. All I did was state the range of acceptable speaker impedance(8-16) listed on the back of my receiver.

Who has this "reading comprehension" problem you repeatedly point to?

In reply to my comment about the extreme rarity of (specifically) 16 ohm
speakers since the mid-'70s (probably earlier) , your comment seemed to
imply that I thought your 8 ohm speakers were some sort of rarity.

Whereas since solid-state days 8 have been *the norm*, 4 lesser so, and
recently a few 6s have cropped up.

I bought a bunch mid 90s, and supposed to be for MTM which is what I used
them for. Parallel 16s.

Lowther comes instantly to mind and back in my roadie time in the 1970'ties
we spec'ed all loudspeaker units at 16 Ohms for optimum amplifier usage and
to minimize cable loss.
