Dolby FM
In the early 1970s, some expected Dolby NR to become normal in FM radio broadcasts and some tuners and amplifiers were manufactured with decoding circuitry; there were also some tape recorders with a Dolby B "pass-through" mode. In 1971 WFMT started to transmit programs with Dolby NR,[2] and soon some 17 stations broadcast with noise reduction, but by 1974 it was already on the decline.[3] Dolby FM was based on Dolby B,[4] but used a modified 25 µs pre-emphasis time constant and a frequency selective companding arrangement to reduce noise.
A similar system named High Com FM was tested in Germany between July 1979 and December 1981 by IRT.[5] It was based on the Telefunken High Com broadband compander system, but never introduced commercially in FM broadcasting.[6]
Yes it is important that you use 8 ohm speakers.
That switch was used for Dolby FM broadcast many moons ago!Dolby FM

Yes it is important that you use 8 ohm speakers. You will damage the amp if you don't!
