Some speakers are an easy load; others are more demanding than they appear. In this episode of The Audiophile’s Guide, we explore the complex relationship between speaker impedance and amplifier behavior. Impedance isn’t just a number—it changes with frequency, and that affects power delivery, tonal balance, and control. Learn how amplifier design interacts with low and reactive loads, why damping factor matters, and what to consider when matching gear. Get this right, and the system breathes as one.
