Default 6 ohm speakers - uprate to 8 ohm?

Speaker impedance is pretty nominal. I'd not expect a decent amp to be
worried about 6, rather than 8 ohms. Unless being driven flat out.


For various values of 'decent amp' :-)

Can't turn the damn thing up more than about 30% without annoying the
neighbours.
50% and my ears start to bleed!"

Thanks - will give it a go.


The 6 ohm speakers will be even louder than the 8 ohm for a given volume
setting; I don't know by how much.
