16 ohm speakers with 5 ohm amp ?

Hi all,

What happens when you pair a low ohm amp ( Manley Stingray ipod ) with a high ohm speaker ( Zu Oman/ Spacial M3 or 4 Turbo triode) ? 5 Ohm amp output to 12 to 14 ohm speaker. Thanks

Thanks guys,

So I do own a pair of Zu omans that I never did love the sound with the Manley. I am thinking of a pair of Spacial's so will rule out the Triodes'. I did get a 10 ohm speaker load resistors(snubber) from Zu Audio for the Omens. It did improve the sound a lot, much more listenable. Do I need to be concerned about the addition of the resistors harming the Stingray ?
