Hi all
Something I've never really understood and I was hoping someone can give a simple explanation (if one exists).
Why is that with speakers, 4 ohm speakers are considered harder to drive than 8 ohm speakers, i.e. with speakers, lower impedance is harder to drive
But with headphones 600 ohm headphones are considered harder to drive than 32 ohm headphones, i.e. with headphones, lower impedance is easier to drive
So why is it reversed between speakers and headphones?
Many thanks in advance
