Doesn't make any difference what is it, as long as it is over about 20. Nothing over that makes any audible difference in the sound coming from your loudspeakers.
Well, an argument might be made for the threshold being as high as 40-50 before all differences are buried by the damping factors associated with the speaker's crossover and driver, but nothing higher than that. Even amp companies admit this on their web pages.
As it is unlikely that the 1055's damping factor is lower than about 200, it becomes irrelevant.
