Matching speaker to amplifier?


How do you match your speaker to a particular amplifier? What determines the type of amplifier you should match with your speaker ie; OTL,SET, Tube or SS?

look at the speakers impedance...is it flat and stable at 8 ohms or does it look like a ski jump dropping down to 2 and up above eight? crazy curves will like high current ss amps that "double down" as their impedance drops while you can run a low power tube rig on something that's 8 ohm stable. efficiency comes into play but not as much as the impedance imho
