Amplifier circuitry-4 ohm vs 8 ohm
Hmmm, I have two pair of Vienna Acoustics that are 6 ohm speakers and a simple EL34 amp with 8 ohm and 4 ohm taps. Thanks to the excellent posts above I am much better informed but more confused!  VA support told me to run off the 4 ohm tap, but t...

horn or line array?
LOL Infinity IRS IV (1988), or the more modern Genesis 1 vs Klipsch Jubilee (2022) = Alien vs Predator.    For jazz, i’d go with Klipschorn AK6 and a high quality Dennis Had Inspire 300b SET amp, stick them in the corner and pick your favorite so...

Careful with the tube rolling!! I started with the Willsenton 300i 845, great amp for the money, and now have three SE tube amps and a hybrid tube pre w/ class AB power output AND have amassed a collection of over 300 tubes for the four amps!   i ...
