In all seriousness I had an install customer ask me today why we would ever offer an 16-ohm version. He said 16-ohm sounded bad and he was totally fine paralleling 5 standard bi-amp cabinets on his amp :-0

Did you try to lock in amp replacement sales for them?

There are a lot of people who seem to believe that amps driving higher impedance loads have to 'work harder' and have an 'easier' time driving low impedance loads. Apparently they have never met Ohm's Law.

It is amazing how many "wrong concepts" float around in our industry.

I think the 16ohm "bad sound" (Yes I have heard it myself) comes from people trying to use 16 ohm guitar speakers as PA speakers.

Historically-16ohm "PA cabinets" have been of "lessor quality"-so people associate the impedance rating with the sound quality.

That happens when you "assume".

It is constantly amazing how little people know about the basics of audio-yet go around talking like they are experts.

The bar needs to be raised A LOT HIGHER!

It's not just audio, it's electricity in general.

I once had the owner of a large local lighting company tell me that a lighting rig would draw MORE current if the line voltage was low. "Ohm's Law, don't you know?"

We did straighten things out in a friendly manner. :)~:-)~:smile:
