@noske You can have a 4 ohm nominal speaker sound just fine running the 8 ohm tap on a tube amp. My experience has been you just have to try and see what sounds best. Even the manufacturer will say this.

@noske Rogue Audio for one. Tube amps aren’t going to double power like you suspect, they are not the same as a solid state amp. Power is going to nominally the same at each tap but the output voltage will change. Of course, it’s best to consult the amp manufacturer for their opinion but I’ve had zero issues driving <8ohm loads on my 8 ohm transformer taps on my tube amp. |
