In reply to my comment about the extreme rarity of (specifically) 16 ohm
speakers since the mid-'70s (probably earlier) , your comment seemed to
imply that I thought your 8 ohm speakers were some sort of rarity.

Whereas since solid-state days 8 have been *the norm*, 4 lesser so, and
recently a few 6s have cropped up.

Sorry if my comment in that thread was vague. Actually, I implied that you thought my 8-16ohm-accepting JVC receiver was some sort of rarity, or cheap.


So if I read your statement above correctly, it seems there is a centering of impedances between 6-8ohms recently, with 16 almost nonexistent and 4ohms becoming so.
