Depends totally on the impedence curve of the speakers. Usually the lower the impedence curve dips the more difficult the load. If you have a high current amp it won't make any difference.
speaker sensitivity vs. speaker size
I would like to draw on all of you for your experience on this matter.
Here is my question:
If I have two pairs of speakers, one being a pair of monitors (bookshelf size) and a pair of floor standers (both from the same company, in this case) and they both have the same sensitivity rating (actually, in this case, the bookshelf is rated at 85db/w/m and the floorstander is rated at 86db/w/m), would they both be equally easy/ difficult amplifier loads (if the identical amp was used on either pair)? (sorry about the run-on sentence)
The larger speaker has a metal tweeter, a 6.5 inch midrange and an 8 inch bass driver. The smaller has the same, minus the 8 inch driver.
It is my inclination to think that, despite the ratings, the larger would be the more difficult load as it has more drivers to control).
I am calling on you guys to help with clarification on this matter.
thanks in advance
