With common amps (ones that dont have the same power output at multiple impedances), and a resultant load within 1-2 ohms, a 0.33 ohm variation would mean a lot of output variation. On the other hand, there would be nearly zero difference between an amp driving 8 or 8.33 ohms nominal impedance. The former scenario would mean a lot to SPL competitors, and they would like to keep the impedance as close to that at which the amp puts out maximum power. But I dont think Gunbir and JB look like they're going to the next drag with this setup. Theoretically, LBM is right. Other than that, there's nothing worrisome about it.
