I just bought a TAD-60 amplifier, biased the EL-34's to single ended class A, and set it up. Speakers can be connected to either 4 or 8 ohm terminals. I have Acoustic Zen Adagios that are rated at 6 ohms. My question; which speaker terminals do I use---the 4 or the 8 ohm? Thanks for any advice.
The 4-ohm taps should have less distortion and better bass control into nominal 6-ohm rated speakers... although that doesn't necessarily mean you will like the sound better... Lots of folks love the sound of even-order harmonic distortion and "puffy" bass. As the above poster said, try it both ways and let your ears decide.
