Someone please explain the term---tube friendly speaker---I'm wanting to use speakers with lower db ratings for better overall range and imaging-----but do I need more power to run a Totem Arro (rated db 88 into 4 Ohms)---if I had 35 wpc instead of 20 wpc would I be able to drive that lower loaded speaker----I don't understand the relationship between needed power requirements of a certain speaker and how it effects the loading of the speaker----
I never see any 16 or 32 Ohm rated speakers yet many of the vintage amps were wired to use them??? Can I build a crossover to increase the Ohm rating of any speaker?? Jim
