That's a good question - the term is something I've used for years but never really known the precise definition of.I've taken the term "nominal impedance" to mean the "face value" impedance, or perhaps the "ballpark rounded-off practical average" impedance. It's usually not the minium impedance, but rather seems to be the impedance that the speaker can be reasonably considered to have as far as amplifier matching goes.
Well there we still don't know what it really means, so hopefully someone who does really know will post.
