Why are so many speakers built with woofer arrays/types that are 4 ohm or less? Is it that hard to make speakers with high low end impedances? That said, I own JM Focal that have less than 4 Ohm minimum impedance and drive them with 78 wpc Tube Monoblocks and yes they sound great. I wonder though if they would sound even better if they had higher minimum impedances.
Tubes vs Solid State
I have have been listening to music all my life but have only recently started experimenting with different amplifier and/or speakers/component combinations. I have recently moved from Parasound JC 1's to Classe Cam 400 monoblocks which I have both loved (maybe the prior a bit more) and are contemplating another move. I have been very intrigued by tube monoblocks and have the opportunity now to move to ARC ref 600's. I can also get Mark Levinson 33's for about the same cost. I am just uncertain about the Ref 600's as I am worried that I might be disappointed in the tube sound.
Can someone with more experience perhaps help me out here ? I am using the amps as part of a home-theatre setup driving 802 d's and other 800 diamond fronts and rears. I would really appreciate some good advice here.
