You hear what you hear, if that's nuts then we're all looney. I would contact the speaker manufacturer on the second question, they can give you the correct answer. You will get some responses to your post here telling you it's okay and others telling you it's not okay and then it usually(not always) turns into a pissing contest between posters. Sad but true.
4 ohm taps or 8 ohm taps?
I am driving a pair of Swan Diva 6.2 speakers with a MingDaMC34AB vacuum tube amplifier (75 wt/channel ultralinear mode). I have liked the sound for the dollars invested.
The speakers are rated at 6 ohm impedence. I have been using the 4 ohm taps on the amp. I was recently advised to use the 8 ohm taps. I did, and swear the speakers sound too bright, "tinny", and even lost some speaker transparency.
Question One: Am I nuts or is this possible?
Ouestion Two: If it sounds better with the 4 ohm taps, is there any harm or danger to the system of using them in this system?
Thanks for your help and opinions.
