Can you hear any difference between damping factors of 70 and 35? I don't think I could. I think DF only begins to make an audible difference when it goes below 10, or somewhere in that range below 10.

I think some speakers are pretty well mechanically damped and don't need much electrical damping. I think speakers with tight voice coil clearances make better use of whatever electrical damping there is.

Others need more electrical damping. I believe cheap "sloppy woofers" with weak magnets and large VC gaps do better with an amplifier with the lowest output impedance.
