Digital amps and 16 ohm speakers?

Amp/Preamp Asylum

Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here.

I just finished building a pair of speakers using vintage Pioneer drivers. They are 16 ohm and very sensitive. I guess that the digital amps will have lower output but I only need a couple of clean watts to get more volume than I need.

Is there any possible problem other than lower power that a 16 ohm load might cause?

TIA!!!!!

I'm looking at the lower power Tripath based amps. - tweakk 09:51:38 10/28/07 (2)
