Is this a question I should be asking? Or is it a dumb idea all together? Anyone use a tube amp with a four ohm speakers? Am I looking for trouble?

What is important is the output impedence of the amp....kind of.

If the amp has a low output impedence, like the Sonic Frontiers, the frequency response will be more likely to stay flat in the areas where you have an impedence dip.

If the amp has a higher output impedence, you can get a little bump there. That may mean a bass that is a little fat...which can be a positive anyway.

If it were just about measurements, we would all own Aragon. And marry a Stepford wife. My wife is a little quirky, but that is what makes it interesting.
