Cary cad120s running 4 ohm speakers?


Hi everyone I was wondering if some one uses or experimented with speakers that are a 4 ohm load. With the cary 120s amp?

I am currently looking at Totem Acoustic Element Metals which are a 4 ohm load but are 91db efficient.

I was originally looking at the Totem Element Earths which are 88db efficient and an 8 ohm load. But hearing how loud the metals being played with a triode corp 30watt 6ohm ultra liner amp. Can not imagine the juice pumped out by my 60 watt triode cary tube amp could run these, or even in ultra liner mode.

So my biggest question is anyone running the cad 120s on a 4ohm speaker load?

sorry I have been out of town for a couple of weeks but, thanks Polk432 it is good to hear that your cad 120 runs on 4 ohm speakers thats what I was only wondering for in my question. Though the dealer demoing the metals was with a triode corp integrated 30watt AB 6ohm tube amp. It just not filled a demo room but the whole store!

Also yes I do have a cary slp-98p with phono and running the 120 amp. But with my current speakers the totem forest. Which drives them louder then I need for my 1500square foot living room in triode. It also pumps out the bass especially on vinyl, so bad I get noise complaints. Which I don't even try the amp in ultra liner mode because of that!

I am also considering trying the kt-120 tubes to run in the cary for some extra punch.
