Eh?  What kind of SS amp has an ouput impedance of 4 ohms?  Mostly
they're well under .1 ohms (usually expressed in terms of the damping
factor).

An amplifier with an output impedance close to the impedance of the
speaker it's connected to will audibly distort.

It's -not- another matter - it's one of the main reasons you need the
output impedance much less than the input impedance.
