Speaker and amp pairing

Hi :)

Does this go here, in the amp sub, or does it not really matter?

I have been seeing a few threads here that mention the importance of pairing the speakers and amplifier.
So, I started doing some research, and came up with the following:

a) you want the correct impedance, as in the speakers should have a higher impedance and the amplifier a lower impedance
b) you want the proper amount of power; the wattage the amplifier puts out should match the speaker manufacturer’s recommended amplification levels
C) you want the speakers to have enough sensitivity so that the amplifier can effectively drive them

And that’s all I got :)

Is that about it - or is  there more to pairing than this?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

I just switched from a 50 watt a/b amp for a 150 watt Class D amp at 8 ohms. My speakers are 4 ohms and this amp will provide 250 watts.
my room is  small 12x14’ and not at loud levels. The higher power amp provides lots of clean power - bass so clean and accurate and zero heat!
not my first class D amp-

you have to listen ! And with the absence of audio salons , a good choice is impossible via mail order! I sent back the 50 watt/ ch amp and it’s a PIA  and only by luck did the next amp sync!

I’m running to sets of speakers one is 92 and the other is 87dBSPL @ 2.83v

 Using a Peachtree nova 150- lots of power  both sets of speakers do well with this amplifier.

Do not skimp on power - what a difference
