[QUOTE="kc2eeb, post: 133478, member: 811"] I like the way it sounds. Technically, running the amp into a higher impedance, lowers it's RMS output, and the frequency response changes but, what's really important is how it sounds to you. Easiest way to try this is with 2 8 ohm speakers of the same make and model. 1 speaker by itself is 8 ohms. Play that and listen. If you then connect them in parallel you get 4 ohms. Play that. Then, connect them in series and you get 16 ohms. Play that. To my ears, at the higher impedance, you get better lows and mids at 16 ohms. To connect speakers in series: the tip, "+" of the speaker cable goes to + of one speaker, the - of that speaker connects to the + of the second speaker and the - of the second speaker goes to the ground, "-" of the speaker cable.
