This is not a universal truth by any means! If the speaker is over-damped by the amplifier, you will get **less** bass and no definition!
Some speakers want almost no damping and others need some; no known speaker needs over 20:1.
There are two design paradigms for amps and speakers that compete in the high end audio world. You cannot mix equipment from opposite camps as it will result in tonal anomalies- this is the equipment matching issue you hear about so often. For more info see:
