Use 4 or 8 ohm output on amp for 6 ohm speakers?

Yo,Tim;We already knew that--sorry,like trying to sneak a lamb chop past a wolf. Mr original poster; The ans. is in your handle. Try each tap--which ever one Sounds Great to me--that's the one to use. Just love it here when they feed me for my "sit-down" act.

Alright, that wasn't good enough for a double post.-- Nor a single one either.

George is right (Tireguy is left and Newbee is gone ;^) - you can't damage anything by trying both of the tap options out. One should sound best with your speakers.

Thanks all for your input!

The four ohm tap will have twice the damping factor of the eight ohm tap in a properly designed output transformer due to it's lower output impedance. In many instances the four ohm tap will yeild tighter bass response into all speaker loads, however at reduced power transfer if the speaker is an eight ohm, or higher, load. If the impedance curve of the speaker tends to peak where the in-room frequency response of the speaker dips, then the lower damping factor of the eight ohm tap will cause a peak in the frequency response of the amp causing the overall response to sound better. So, yes, try both taps.
