Question about tube friendly speakers...

I want to check my understanding of speakers. Here we have two speakers: A & B. Both of them have the same physical dimensions, use same sized woofers and woofer configurations, both have same sensitivity 90db, both handle between 25 to 200 watts, but A has an impedance swing between 4ohm and 8ohm, but B has an nominal and steady 8ohm load. And both powered by the same by, let's say, VS55 ARC tube amp.

Which will sound better with a tube amp? I think will sound better.

What if A is twice as expensive as B because of higher quality parts and build, which will match better to the amp?

Am I right?

How many watts is your amp? If it were to be low wattage I'd say the steady 8 ohm load would be better. If the amp were to have 30 watts or greater then I'd have to hear them for demo purposes, without knowing brand names.
Read email I'll send you.
PS you never said which speaker you thouhhght would sound better.
