4 ohm or 8 ohm tap on old tube amps?


Would one of these provide better sound than the other? I have vintage Marantz and McIntosh but is the answer pretty much true for any tube amp?

Driving ProAc 8 ohm 86db One SC monitors.

Thanks much,

One advantage of using the 4- versus 8-Ohm tap is that the amp will have twice the damping factor so the bass probably will sound better damped...which may be better or may be worse.
