I only have a 16 ohm tap on my old OTL tube amp and I am using a 16 ohm broadband loudspeakers from Ocellia. So I can’t compare, but I can say is that this works very, very well.
Trying different output impedance taps with tube amps
My Antique Sound Lab Tulip 2A3 SET amp has 4, 8 and 16 ohm taps. I had been running the 8 ohm taps, and had a friend over to listen. He suggested the 4 ohm taps might be a better match for my speakers (Audio Note AN-Es). He was right, and it made a really nice improvement.
If you have multiple taps on your amp(s) and have never tried the other ones, or haven't for a while, it's worth a shot. Even if you are using the recommended or “right” ones for your speakers, you might be surprised.
