Just took a closer look at the amp, on top of the gold colored plate on the output transformer, 0-4-8, so like the Jadis page said, engineered for any speaker load. Which makes me even more impressed with this amp.
I have used tubed amps on 4-ohm speakers for some time now, so it can be done with satisfactory results. Can't speak for your combination directly, though.
4 ohm taps do Not Necessarliy equate to 4 ohm drive capability. My 27W EL34 monos are more relaxed and xparent on the 8 ohm taps. Course, like Z says, it all depends on the spkr. ymwillv...
Elevick, sorry to hear of your bad experience. I just financed a $2200 3 way speaker designed by a DIYer from Madisound. An absolute mess. 83db!!!, Not one good thing about this speaker, i sold them for $1K. That is funny though, 2.5 ohms! worthless! I'm close to ordering the Thor kit, she's a winner! Trust me the Seas Excel midwoofers are real performers.
