Which B&K ST-140?

OK, I simply have to hear what I'm missing--especially up high--with my old tube gear. After lots of reading on this wonderful website, the B&K ST-140 seems a good quality-vs-cost choice to try.

But which ST-140? The 70w? 105w? only the blue and red one? I only care about which sounds best, especially at the high end.

Thank you!

Unsound, revealing my ignorance, what is a low impedence speaker generally? I think most are 8 ohms, a few 4 I have heard of. Do you mean 4 ohm speakers? Why is the B&K not good for 4 ohm-ers?

Thanks....

Thanks Unsound. Phase angle? The sales guy never said anything about that.

How do you calculate it?

Timlub...
Resistive and capacitive load? I have to admit this is over my head.
When would a speaker see a resistive, or a capacitive, load?

Thanks much...took me a while to formulate this question in my mind...

Timlub, thanks a lot. I'll have to work on understanding that but will look at some charts and see if I understand. I know what resistance and capacitance are and know that capacitance can be resistive (I think). Not sure why there would be capacitance in a speaker. Let me think about it.

Thanks
Jim
