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

What I meant to suggest is that so-called "8-ohm" speakers have always
actually been closer to 5 or 6 ohms. Should have been clearer.

That is equally false. An 8 ohm driver will often have a DC RESISTANCE
often around 6 ohms, but it's impedance will likely be very different,
and change with frequency.

Then throw in a crossover network and you'll have even wider variation.
