They don't studiously avoid mention of it.


** Yes they do - you bull****ting old fool.


The high output impedance
is an integral part of the design philosophy.

They design to ensure
that there is a low enough damping factor to allow the speaker cone to
sing properly.

And getting the figure right is part of their
intellectual property, not a bragging item.


** Completely insane crap.

Most would say that Don has lost it - but I know he never had a single clue in the first place.
