Hi everyone...

I've been noticing quite a bit of power ratings, which always state a given amount of power at 8 ohms, and this sometimes doubles at 4ohms... sometimes not.
Does this mean the power rating also increases a tad at 6 ohms?
Does this also mean, the same amp powering an 8 Ohm speaker, will sound better when powering a 4 ohm speaker? Or because a 4 Ohm speaker requires a fair bit of power (i think), makes the control of the speaker, in comparison to the 8 Ohm speaker insignificant?
