Funny you should bring that up. I'm getting these new 300B monoblock amps soon. Supposedly they delivery a steady state 1.5W into 8 Ohms. I was planning on trying them with my 604s, which are 16. In my limited electronics mind, I was concerned that I would get less power because the impedence is higher. But in reality I would get 50% more power into a 16 Ohm speaker according to the designer. This makes sense since the higher the resistance, the greater the voltage drop across it.

So, by replacing the 8 Ohm phragm with a 16, would that actually help the issue, or hurt it?
