"A speaker advertised as "87 dB and 4 Ohms" more often than not actually measures more like 84 dB dipping into 2 Ohms easily in large portions of the frequency response."
This is another reason the Ncore's ultra low output impedance is helpful, being 1 milliohm at 16kHz and below. Note it is reportedly not affected by frequency throughout most of the audio band, raising to only 2.5 milliohm at 20kHz.
The first time I had the Atsah's here, I hooked them up with good quality Furutech cords with Oyaide connectors, placed them on amp stands and used large brass pucks on top to help control resonance. I am sure the milled aluminum enclosures also help control resonances, and may be one reason some report those larger amps to sound better than the 200 wpc NC400's.
