What I meant by that was I have read, during my tenure in this hobby, that AVRs and amps should always be set to 8 ohms, regardless of situation, and that low sensitivity speakers are difficult to drive -- it SEEMED, as I read his replies, that what he was saying was somewhat in contradiction to what is often offered in these forums. That's all. I didn't mean to confuse anyone or elicit any wrinkled feathers.
Okay, well I don't personally KNOW you, electronically, so my apologies; I was merely trying to wrap my head around whether it was true that every system should be set to 8 ohms, regardless of what ohm speakers are connected, or not.
Without getting too technical, what I wanted to know was:
1. Should an AVR, as equipped with such a selector, always be set to 8 ohms even if speakers connected are of less ohm value
and
2. Are lower-sensitivity speakers actually a bit more difficult to drive?
