Hi,

Can you please tell me the advantages and disadvantages of 4 ohm
compared to 8 ohm loudspeakers?

Depends entirely on the speakers in question, the equipment you use them
with, and your personal tasts/circumstances.

The only general comment is that *for the same applied voltage* the 4 Ohm
ones may draw more current, and that some amplifiers may not like this.
However the specific 4 Ohm speakers in a given case may not require as
large a voltage to play at a given sound level as some other 8 Ohm pair,
and you amplifiers may be quite happy to drive them. Hence even this
general comment isn't necessarily relevant to models you have in mind.

Slainte,

Jim
