You're an Oliver Stone dilettante right?
"Most high-quality loudspeakers are 4-Ohms"

Its a reasonable question though I'm not sure how much value an answer provides.

Saying neither 4 8 or 16 is objectively better may be true but does not answer the question. That only indicates that 4 ohm speakers can be high quality, not whether most quality speakers are 4 ohms.

Not sure why some are put off by the discussion? I am finding it informative even though I am doubtful a conclusive answer to the question will result.
The word's leading designers are still trying to determine how many ohms to use in a speaker.

Note like a true audiophile he uses an older form of the analog gramophone - the Edison cylinder.

If you listen to the words you realize he is using much more than 4 ohms...
Mapman, I would hazard a guess; that including both nominal and minimum impedances, there are more 4-Ohm high quality loudspeakers than not, ergo it's likely that the answer to the OP; is yes, "Most high-quality loudspeakers are 4-Ohms".
But where's the fun in that? I agree, I do find this conversation interesting. I wish those that find it rife with misinformation, would be more specific. I don't mind being found wrong, if I learn something.
