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?

I'm using a pair of Blue Circle BC2s (hybrid - 75wpc Class A, with one 6SN7 tube per amp) to drive my Audio Physic Virgos, and they seem to do a wonderful job. I believe the CEO of Blue Circle uses the same amps to drive a pair of Martin Logans (can't remember the model) that are notoriously difficult to drive. Cheers, John.

If the amp has a low output impedence, like the Sonic Frontiers, the frequency response will be more likely to stay flat in the areas where you have an impedence dip. If the amp has a higher output impedence, you can get a little bump there. That may mean a bass that is a little fat...which can be a positive anyway. If it were just about measurements, we would all own Aragon. And marry a Stepford wife. My wife is a little quirky, but that is what makes it interesting.
