Phooey I say, If the amp has a substrantaial power transformer (it does) and good output transformers (it does) then you can play you music through those soeakers. You will have to decide if you like the sound however-you may or may not- but I say it won't be the amps fault. I have lower wattage tube amps driving speakers that like to dip south of 4 ohms which sound absolutely fabulous. I am certain the math would say no... but my ears say yes,
90db 4 ohm with tubes?
Hi - I'm thinking of upgrading my speakers. On my list of things to check out is the Usher Mini Two Dancer, which is rated at 90db @ 4ohm. My amplifier is a Cary V12R running at 100W in ultra-linear. In theory at least, would this combination work? I've always had the notion that tubes would work best with an 8ohm load, but I though it was worth asking about.
