I am finding that the 4 ohm tap has made quite an improvement in dynamic and bass control on my Heron i.
I have quite a large room and sit about 15 feet away from the speakers. I have yet to turn the volume control past 11 o clock.There is as much if not more bass slam and control with this amp on these speakers as I can remember with solid state amps in the 300 watt range.Wattage isn't everything in determining how this amp pairs up.Too many people shy away from this unit or think it has too many limitations.I recently auditioned another more costly SET using the 845 tube and it did not do what this amp is doing.Maybe I just got lucky with this pairing of Meadowlark and Cary.
