Groundhog,

See this recent thread on the same topic. Bottom line is try it and use which ever sounds best. It will not hurt your amp or speakers.

Use of 4 or 8 ohm tap?

For some reason the link I provided doesn't seem to work, at least on my PC.

The thread name is "Dunlavy 4 or 8 ohms for Audio Research VT-100 amp?". You can do a search for it.
