8 ohm speaker hooked up to 4 ohm post ?

Blindjim, when you wrote:

With a couple solid state amps, which have no such
choice of out put taps, they play fine, and only the differences between ss and
tubes are then realized. The thinness and tilted up sound was gone.

I understood your statement to mean your observation of a lack of thinness
and tilted up sound was a result of using a couple of solid state amps.

Apparently, I misunderstood your comment, so my initial reply to you in this
thread has no relevance to your situation.

Sorry Tvad... I jumped well ahead in the time line of ownership making that statement and did not indicate it.

Now... would you mind answering the questions I asked of you? I've already answered all of yours.

Blindjim, I mistakenly thought there was new ground to cover, and that's why
I posted in this thread. Since I misinterpreted your earlier statement, thereby
making my initial post irrelevant, I see no purpose in revisiting old
discussion.

My mistake. No worries.

New or old, notwithstandibng, you introduced some questions and claims... I thought some added light should be shone upon them.

Anyhow... I was just curious on those two items I asked you about as I must have missed those explanations somehow. Somewhere.

especially how someone could examine something without seeing or testing it.

it's cool... I'll just chalk it up to some inconsistency in production. each of our results with the Sonata's having differed so greatly.

Otherwise the higher taps in use now would have yeilded far less positive results than they have.

be well.

This question should be directed to Ralph Karsten.
