   A lower Z draws more current for a given voltage so puts a heavier load

   The word 'load' relates to the current drawn (therefore=power) - not the   
   'number' of the impedance.   
      
   So a lower number Z is a harder load to drive.

   Thanks for clarifying.  Guess I was seeing it the other way around:  The amp   
   'pushes' signal to the speaker, and meets more resistance from one with higher   
   ohms than from one with lower ohms.
