Hello Friends,
Good day!
I was reading somewhere that any speaker impedance rating that is 4-ohms is typically going to be a high-end, audiophile product that wants an amplifier that can really put out some power. The loudspeaker manufacturer likely developed a 4-ohm speaker because he know what kind of amplifier would be required (or typically mated with it) to get the desired sound. With a lower impedance range, it also opens up different design choices and opportunities.

For most people, a 6-ohm or 8-ohm speaker is going to be the norm. Those types of speakers are particularly well-suited to match with the designs of most AV receivers. This isn’t to be taken as a blanket statement of course—a lot more goes into a loudspeaker than its impedance rating. Still, there are indicators you should be aware of when trying to understand impedance ratings and amplifiers.
Felt like it was an absurd thing. I disagree this to be a blanket statement for speakers having a 4 ohms impedence that they are audiophile speakers. It will we good if fellow members can pen their thoughts together.
