A higher impedance speaker won't make the most of a solid state amplifier, and as a result won't sound as good by comparison as a speaker with a lower impedance."
Like so many things in both life and audio your statement is true except for when it is not. As an example my Pass built First Watt F-3 solid state amplifiers are rated for a output of 15 watts into eight ohms but only 10 watts into either four or sixteen ohms.
I dream of an America where a chicken can cross the road without having it's motives questioned.
