Is this a question I should be asking? Or is it a dumb idea all together? Anyone use a tube amp with a four ohm speakers? Am I looking for trouble?

IT IS CURRENTLY DRIVING 2 WAY STAND MOUNTED MONITORS FROM THIEL (NOTORIOUSLY HARD TO DRIVE) THEY ARE 4 OHM & DO DIP BELOW THAT. IT IS AN OK COMBO, BUT I HAVE A SMALL ROOM, & CAN'T PLAY AT CONCERT LEVELS IF I WANT TO. I WOULD SWITCH TO A LARGER, 8 OHM 3-WAY THAT IS EASIER ON TUBES, IF I CAN FIND SOMETHING THAT IS AS DETAILED & ACCURATE AS THE THIEL SCS3'S.

Since I am a dealer I won't give you my site but Kora's direct. It is www.kora.net. We have driven speakers that dip as low as 1.5 ohms with these amps with no problems.
