8 ohm nominal impedance/4.69 ohm minimal impedance--is this a bad load (on paper)?

@immatthewj, everything you need to know about speaker impedance see here. 😎

Impedance varies greatly when driving speakers. So for the Revel dropping to 4.69 ohms is really no big deal. It’s when a speaker drops below 2 ohms you might have a problem.  Both my Hegel and my PS Audio amps have no trouble handling 2 ohm loads.

Thank you for explaining that to me, @erik_squires  ; thanks for the link,  @ditusa  , thanks @everybody for the input.  

 So check your amp’s specs before you buy the Revel M126Be or any speaker.

@sbayne  , well, that's what I meant about my propensity to measure once and cut twice.  The speakers are already set up in my listening rfoom and being auditioned . . . and now I am finally asking that question.  The amp is a Cary V12 and it does not seem to be straining to drive the speakers in 50 wpc triode mode.  I have played around a bit with the 100 wpc ultralinear mode, but I believe I prefer the sound in triode.
