Default What's with all these new SIXohm Stereo Speakers coming out?!

The word 'load' relates to the current drawn (therefore=power) - not the
'number' of the impedance.

So a lower number Z is a harder load to drive.

Thanks for clarifying. Guess I was seeing it the other way around: The amp 'pushes' signal to the speaker, and meets more resistance from one with higher ohms than from one with lower ohms.
