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.

Exactly. If you plot the impedance curve of an 8-ohm speaker, the impedance
will generally, but not always, drop below 5 ohms at resonance. This has
been true for over 40 years.

When I said impedance, I meant impedance, not DC resistance.

This is getting to be just tiresome nit-picking. You aren't even making a
distinction here, because I essentially said the SAME thing.
