He forgot to mention that for that output impedance to be relevant, you
need superconducting wire to the speakers as well as superconducting
voice coils.



See the last sentence, about the effect of an **8 ohm** source impedance
on damping.


Oh, and going from 8 ohms output impedance to 10e-7 (unless I
miscounted) would take the damping factor from 1 to 8e7, which is a bit
more than 2. Ignoring the speaker wires of course.
