In reply to:
The lower the ohms, the lower the output of watts per channel rating of a receiver/amp?
jbzn, I think JohnK got you correctly. But just in case... if you meant by "the lower the ohms" the ohm rating of the speakers (not the position of protection selector switch on the back of a receiver), in fact the opposite is true.
"The lower the speaker's ohm rating, the higher the max power (watt per channel) that a receiver can pump out to the speaker" -- as long as the receiver does not shut itself down.
Sorry for the confusion, but English is my SECOND language, and it's been hard enough for me. The Newbiese would be my THIRD... LOL
