Do any amps have 6 ohm taps for 6 ohm impedance?

In most cases, running the tap lower than your nomimal impdance will sound better than the tap that matches the nominal impedance, you just 20% of the power, but if it is enough power I think you and your tubes will be happier "light loading".

Actually you should not loose very much power at all, perhaps a few watts if using the 6 ohm tap. As mentioned earlier, try it and see what you like. I think you will find ts not that critical.

Thank you all for your responses. I'll use the 4 or 6 ohm (if it has them) taps on my ancient McIntosh amp until I buy a new solid state amp.

Kijanki, I was actually thinking about a Rowland 102, but I wasn't sure that the 100W would be enough power. I've never had an amp larger than 100W, and I was thinking that with the Hyperions I might buy a Plinius 9200 integrated. I've had separates up 'til now and would like to see if there's really much sound quality lost with an integrated. The Plinius also accepts MC cartridges and supposedly has a good phono stage, both of which are important to my phono-centric system.

Klein_rogge - 200W is only 22% louder than 100W. I drive Rowland with Benchmark DAC1 without preamp. You will find good class D bargains in Wyred4Sound. I don't know Plinus 9200 but it remember it had great reviews.

It is my understanding the taps are slightly lower impedance than marked by most manufacturers.

VTL and Manley set theirs at 5 or 5.5 ohms I believe.

It's all a matter of taste. Try both taps and see what you prefer. The 8 ohm tap usually sounds warmer.
