Newbee, can you provide a link on the Tyler website that contains impedance specs? Thanks.
I can't quite wrap my head around why some tube amps work with 3 ohm impedance loads and others do not. The Leben CS-600, which produces 32wpc with 6L6GC tubes sounded anemic and downright awful on the VR4 speakers, yet it is sweet, musical and downright incredible on the 5.5 ohm minimum Castle Howards.
The Rogue Cronus at 55wpc...just 13 watts more...brought the VR4 speakers to life. Yet, the Cronus has smaller transformers than the Leben.
On the other hand, the Cronus sounded congested and coarse on the Castles.
I'm sure someone like "Atmasphere" might explain it, but I'm at a loss. I do know that in general tube amps work better with higher impedance loads.
