PS... If looking at spec's for an amp and trying to ascertain the susceptability of the amp to various speaker cable / speaker loads, look at what is called "power bandwidth" and NOT "frequency response". The power bandwidth is the frequency range that the amplifier can deliver full rated power to while meeting distortion / linearity specs. Frequency response is typically rated at 1 watt, which tells you nothing about the amplifiers actual linearity at the frequency extremes. While it is true that narrow bandwidth designs ( limited power bandwidth ) can still oscillate, those with a wider power bandwidth are typically more susceptible to such problems.
As a side note, many manufacturers no longer disclose "Power Bandwidth" on amplifiers as it is a more telling specification in terms of how well the product is engineered. Instead, they concentrate on publishing the spec's that make their product look like a better performer rather than disclosing the big picture, which might expose "lower grade" designs for what they are.
