Cheers Joe, I never allowed for the bi-wire factor.
Jeffrey, it is a DARED MP-7 Stereo tube amp - a SET. (2 times 6 watts). They are advertised on this site with full specification.
In retrospect, I should have entitled the thread: "How do I make parallel connections to a pair of speakers from a stereo tube amp".
I have a "pair" of stereo speakers both of which have 15 ohms (16 for this purpose)impedence. As my amp taps are 4 and 8 respectively, I'll use the 8 ohm tap. Thus my goal is to reduce the impedence of the speakers from 16 to 8 ohms.
I intend to run these in parallel to reduce impedence to 8 ohms to get full "bandwidth" so to speak, best use of the amplifier's available power rather than it running out of gas after the first watt or so. Or not being able to drive the speakers efficiently if you prefer.
I have no idea however what the sensitivity of the speaker's are: being c.1960, I guesstimate they have relatively high sensitivity of 90 to 92 dB as they were (again I'm guessing) made for the then available 20 and 30 watt tube amps.
The conclusion I am trying to arrive at - is in fact very direct - thus: 'because it is a pair of speakers and a stereo amp do I therefore wire them as per any amount of parallel diagrams suggest one does on the internet, but do so - as it were - doubling up the cabling. ie two speaker to speaker connections adjoined? As opposed to the two single speaker wire connection with one adjoining cable between speakers which I adduce is merely a mono[?] set up?
I think by Joe's answer it must be yes; however the concept of biwirng the speakers to the amp - in parallel - is not something I understand and confuses me again yet further.
Perhaps Joe you could explain how I might do this. Or if anyone has a diagram even better.
Thanks for your time, I appreciate your assistance
